The Michigan Public Health Week Partnership invites you to join them in celebrating Public Health Week in Michigan by nominating someone for the annual Hometown Health Hero award. The Hometown Health Hero award is presented to individuals and/or organizations that have made significant contributions to preserve and/or improve their community’s health.
The responsibility of public health is to protect and promote the health of communities through education, policy, and assessment. Making communities safe and healthy is public health's top priority. Everyone can make communities healthier, safer, and better for all.
For the past 22 years, the Hometown Health Hero award has shown a spotlight on individuals and/or organizations that have made significant and measurable contributions to preserve and improve the health of their communities.
Awardees are selected solely from nominations received. The only way for someone to receive this award is to be nominated.
