The Mobile County Health Department is celebrating National Public Health Week today through April 12 with this year’s theme being “Ready. Set. Action!”
At this morning’s Mobile City Council meeting, Mayor Spiro Cheriogotis presented a proclamation in observance of the week. Dr. Kevin Michaels, Health Officer of Mobile County, spoke on how public health touches the lives of Mobile County residents every day.
Joining Dr. Michaels was Dr. Stephanie Woods-Crawford, the Executive Director of MCHD’s Prevention & Wellness Directorate. She oversees epidemiologists, nurses, environmental health specialists, community health workers, and many others are on the front lines — often behind the scenes — keeping Mobile County prepared and protected.
Also celebrating NPHW with a proclamation this week was the Town of Dauphin Island and Mayor Jeff Collier.
