National Public Health Week at USF starts with wellness
The University of South Florida College of Public Health has lined up a full week of events and activities for 2009 National Public Health Week, from March 27 through April 7, which is World Health Day.
Taking a cue from the national celebration with its theme “Building the Foundation for a Healthy America,” COPH is kicking off the week with a focus on youth in a public health teach-in. The week also includes activities centered around wellness with a fun walk and health fair on March 27 featuring Nicole Johnson, Miss America 1999 and a USF alumna.
These are just a few of the many options taking place. Click here to check out the full schedule of USF’s Public Health Week activities.
