Health Observances &
Healthcare Recognition Dates
This is a current monthly calendar of
annual health observances and recognition dates for healthcare. Health
observances are days, weeks, or months devoted to promoting particular health
concerns. This information will come in handy for community relations programs
as well as employee appreciation events. Health professionals, teachers,
hospital staff and community groups 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. To obtain materials, click the
link in the "Info Here" column on the right. If you are looking for particular items not listed
in this month, please click on the month that
you are looking for in the index below.
We hope you enjoy planning your year of health care.
