Join us April 7-13, 2025 for the 30th Anniversary of National Public Health Week!
Public health starts with each of us making a difference in our homes and communities. It’s how the places we live, work and play affect our well-being. It’s the way we are all stronger—and healthier—together through the efforts of organizations like the American Public Health Association and others that advocate for healthy communities. Join us for the 30th anniversary of National Public Health Week to celebrate successes, look ahead to upcoming challenges and create a vision for the future. Explore APHA’s resources, events and other ways to get involved during National Public Health Week, because public health is all of us—and it starts here.
What is NPHW?
Put Your Best Foot Forward for YSPH Students!
Your gift to the Yale School of Public Health Alumni Fund provides essential scholarship support, ensuring students have a strong foundation every step of the way. This support is essential—over 90% of our students receive some form of financial assistance, thanks in part to generous Alumni Fund donors.
When you donate $100 or more during 2025 National Public Health Week (April 7-13), you’ll receive a pair of exclusive YSPH-branded socks—a small token of our appreciation for helping students stay on solid ground. Make your gift today and help them stride confidently into their future!
