PROCLAMATION
To Recognize and Honor the Work and Achievements of Colorado's Public
Health System during Colorado's first Public Health Week:
"Health to Match Our Mountains"
WHEREAS the State of Colorado has been ranked as the seventh healthiest
state in our nation and is considered to be one of the most desirable in
the United States for quality of life with bountiful natural resources
and a beautiful environment; and
WHEREAS despite these gifts, many citizens (both young and old) lack
access to affordable preventive health care and basic medical services,
and our environment, though beautiful, is fragile in many places and
subject to potentially destructive forces; and
WHEREAS every Coloradan is beneficially affected by local and state
public health services from birth to death and day by day; and
WHEREAS such services include assurance of water and air quality, food
establishment inspections, sanitation inspections, communicable disease
control, immunizations, nutrition education and supplemental foods,
injury prevention, cancer prevention and screening, prenatal care, well
child care and consumer protection; and
WHEREAS the Colorado Public Health Association, the Colorado
Environmental Health Association, the Colorado Department of Health and
the U.S. Public Health Service, Region VIII, have come together to
sponsor Colorado Public Health Week from April 12-16th, 1993 to increase
awareness of the role of public health and to celebrate the considerable
accomplishments of our public health system;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Weld County Board of Commissioners
fully endorse Colorado Public Health Week and urge the citizens of Weld
County, our local health department, community nursing services and
community clinics to sponsor and participate in activities which promote
awareness and honor Colorado's public health system.
Dated this 12th day of April, 1993.
