30 Days of Public Health

Each April, IDPH highlights the work happening across the state to protect and improve community health. Through our 30 Days of Public Health campaign, we share stories from the people behind the work – public health professionals, partners, and communities working every day to prevent disease, promote healthier environments, and prepare Illinois for future health challenges.

This year’s campaign features a new public service announcement along with creative work from across the department, showcasing the many ways public health impacts daily life.

Public Health in Action

The campaign reflects IDPH’s mission of protecting your health today, and preparing you for tomorrow.
