On the last day of National Public Health Week , MALPH is appreciating the thousands of public health professionals across Michigan who work every day to make sure their communities are great places to live, work, and play.

Public health is an invisible shield — a complex system that provides our best defense against health threats and our best offense for strong, healthy people, families, neighborhoods, states, and country.

For 2026, thank your local public health worker and support their work!

National Public Health Week 2026 invites all Americans to renew their commitment to strengthening the systems, science, and community partnerships that keep us healthy. Public health lives in our environments: the air we breathe, water we drink, sidewalks we walk and parks we enjoy.

National Public Health Week 2026 invites all Americans to renew their commitment to strengthening the systems, science, and community partnerships that keep us healthy. Science is the reason most children live past the age of five and most adults live well into later life. Science delivered vaccines, sanitation, seatbelts and safer workplaces.

Every day, public health works to implement solutions that are driven by grassroots needs and essential information.

In order to provide the best services for their communities and to be ready for emergencies when they happen, it's important that our local public health professionals be equipped with up-to-date, relevant, and effective data.

This year’s theme of National Public Health Week — Ready. Set. Action! — calls on each of us to look back at the progress we’ve made and look forward to the steps needed for an even healthier future. Because one truth guides it all: Good health doesn’t just happen.

Safe water for drinking, bathing, cooking, and recreation is essential for healthy lives, healthy communities, and a healthy economy in Michigan, and our local public health folks work hard every day to make sure that every resident has access to clean water.

For more than 150 years, public health has reshaped what’s possible in the United States — adding decades to life expectancy and dramatically improving quality of life. These achievements didn’t happen by accident. They were the result of community health workers, medical professionals, scientists and advocates pushing for policies grounded in evidence and focused on equity.

Yet too often, these once-unimaginable gains are taken for granted. National Public Health Week (NPHW) 2026 invites all Americans to renew their commitment to strengthening the systems, science, and community partnerships that keep us healthy.

Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of Michiganders, including children, seniors, people with disabilities, and working families.

As Michigan policymakers address new budget pressures, one principle must guide every decision: Do no harm to Medicaid.

Coverage, access to care, and affordability must be protected.
