Health observances are days, weeks or months devoted to promoting particular health concerns.
The 2007 National Health Observances Calendar was established by the National Health Information Center, Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Washington, DC.
The calendar lists selected health observances for 2007 in three ways: the calendar shows days and weeks, and both the text listings and the “At a Glance” sheet show monthly health observances as well.
Health professionals, teachers, community groups and others can use these special times to sponsor health promotion events, stimulate awareness of health risks, or focus on disease prevention. Materials available from sponsoring organizations range from a single flyer to packets of promotional materials.
For more information, please contact the sponsoring organization directly.
