Michigan Association for Local Public Health

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.

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.

You're in luck! The deadline to submit a presentation proposal for the Michigan Premier Public Health Conference 2026 has been extended to Friday, April 10th!
