Let’s Talk about Health this Month! April is all about ways to raise awareness and rethink health.
Its National Public Health Week (https://www.nphw.org/) April 1-7 and as part of National Public Health Week the theme for Tuesday April 2 is Healthy Neighborhoods.
When our neighborhoods are healthy, we have the building blocks for healthy lives. Goal: Get rid of lead in homes and public buildings. Federal lead remediation programs can help remove lead pipes across the country. The federal government estimates there are 6 to 10 million lead service lines across the country, mostly affecting low-income neighborhoods and communities of color. Removing lead pipes protects everyone’s health, especially children. Learn more here.
