Did You Know?

Secondhand smoke exposure is the third leading cause of preventable death
in the U.S. and when people are exposed for any length of time,
it can have a negative effect on their health.

Join us for a special event on February 20th, 2025!
We’re excited to invite you to explore the cultural significance of the Navajo Cradleboard with SWCAHEC and Shining Mountain Health and Wellness.

Public Health is defined as a science-based, evidence-backed field that promotes and protects the health and wellbeing of all people and their communities. The purpose of the Summit is to address the intersectionality of public health, mental and behavioral health, economic opportunity, and to develop strategies that will help improve the overall health and wellbeing of the LGBTQ+ community. Some key themes for the Summit are public health; policy development and implementation; issue advocacy; research and education; and economic opportunity.
