About This Group

UMBC Public Health Week celebrates APHA's National Public Health Week (NPHW) in our campus community.

This year’s theme is Centering and Celebrating Cultures in Health. Community is where we are. It’s our connections with others who share similar interests, attitudes and goals. Over the past few years, those connections have been greatly impacted. Physically distancing from one another and limiting communal gatherings can lead to social isolation, increasing rates of depression, impaired immunity and premature mortality. These outcomes are even worse for and in communities marginalized due to their race, income, sexual orientation and gender identity.

Public Health Week is April 3-9, 2023
