What is public health? It's preventing disease and promoting wellness for our whole community—through vaccines, health education, safe environments, and emergency readiness. ✨🌿

It's National Public Health Week (April 6-12)!

Ever wonder what public health really is? It's not just doctor visits—it's the science of preventing disease, promoting wellness, and protecting entire communities before problems start. Think clean water, vaccinations, health education, and emergency response that keep us all safe. 🩵

From monitoring trends to building healthier environments, public health works behind the scenes (and in crises) for YOUR well-being. 🌿🧘🏻‍♀️✨

Today we are shining a light on bipolar disorder in honor of World Bipolar Day.

Bipolar disorder is a mental illness that causes dramatic shifts in a person’s mood, energy and ability to think clearly. People with bipolar disorder experience high and low moods—known as mania and depression—which differ from the typical ups-and-downs most people experience.

Today is American Diabetes Association Diabetes Alert Day.

Diabetes Alert Day is a one-day “wake-up call” that focuses on the seriousness of diabetes and the importance of understanding your risk.

Your chances of developing type 2 diabetes depend on a combination of risk factors. Although you can’t change risk factors related to family history, age, race, or ethnicity, you may be able to avoid some risk factors by maintaining a healthy weight and being physically active.

To learn more about risk factors and to participate in a diabetes risk test, please visit: https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/diabetes/overview/risk-factors-type-2-diabetes
