Honoring Spirit of Public Health Award Winners

On Friday the McHenry County Department of Health will recognize this year's winners of the Spirit of Public Health Award for students, volunteers, and professionals of the McHenry County Department of Health. This year's theme is "A Healthier America-One Community at a Time."

These volunteers and professionals are being honored at a reception being held 8:30 to 11:00 am in the McHenry County Government Center, Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock

Health Department officials explain that for More than a decade, communities around the country have celebrated National Public Health Week (April 5-11) to help protect and improve our nation's health.

Despite the dramatic progress and a century of public health advancements, our nation's health falls short of its potential. By committing ourselves to support our nation's public health system, we can build on the successes of the past and establish the solid foundation needed in the future for a healthy nation.
