INDIANAPOLIS – Public health advocates from across Indiana will gather at the Statehouse on Thursday to celebrate the important role public health plays in Hoosier’s daily lives and learn how services are delivered around the state.
Public Health Day will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the North Atrium and will feature comments from Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb, State Health Commissioner Kris Box, former state senator Luke Kenley, former state health commissioner Judy Monroe and former congresswoman Susan Brooks.
Kenley and Monroe were co-chairs and Brooks was a citizen adviser for the Governor’s Public Health Commission, which conducted a months-long evaluation of Indiana’s public health system.
The commission’s report included recommendations for increased funding to support local delivery of core public health services, which is part of Holcomb’s 2023 Next Level agenda and budget proposal.
Those who attend are encouraged to wear blue or gold to show support for public health.
