EL PASO, Texas – The City of El Paso Department of Public Health (DPH) is celebrating National Public Health Week: April 4-10. 

During the first week in April, the City of El Paso Department of Public Health joins the American Public Health Association (APHA) to bring together the El Paso community with communities across the United States to observe National Public Health Week. It is a time to recognize the contributions of public health and highlight issues that are important to improving our Nation’s health. 

“To ensure everyone has a chance at a long and healthy life, we must promote disease prevention and identify the root causes of poor health and disease risks to meet the essential care and needs of our community,” said Public Health Director Angela Mora. “The Department of Public Health aims to provide those essential services to our community to improve their quality of life.”
