Celebrating 30 years of public health progress powered by food...
As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of National Public Health Week (April 7–13, 2025), the theme “It Starts Here” invites us to reflect on where true health transformation begins. At Health Will Organization, we believe that transformation starts with what we eat, how we nourish our bodies, and the safety of our food systems.
Our mission as a public health organization is rooted in the belief that food is medicine, a daily prescription for a healthier life, disease prevention, and community wellness. This NPHW, we reaffirm our commitment to creating a future where everyone can access safe, nutritious, and culturally relevant food.
Food as Medicine: A Catalyst for Change
“Your Health Is Our Mission” is more than a campaign message; it’s our lifestyle at Health Will Organization. Through our research, community outreach, and educational initiatives, we:
- Advocate for the evidence-based use of natural foods, herbs, and traditional remedies in the prevention and management of chronic illnesses like hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and cancer.
- Promote plant-forward diets and whole food choices as powerful tools for healing and resilience.
- Encourage balanced eating habits rooted in cultural practices and accessible ingredients.
Our food-as-medicine content empowers individuals to make informed dietary decisions supporting short- and long-term health.
Food Safety Is Health Equity
Not everyone has equal access to safe, nourishing food. Many minority communities face higher risks of foodborne illnesses and lower access to healthy options.
That’s why Health Will Organization is committed to:
- Raising awareness around food handling and safe cooking practices
- Sharing culturally relevant nutrition tips that don’t break the bank
- Advocating for food systems that prioritize both safety and dignity
We believe that equity begins with education, and it continues when every household can confidently choose food that is both healing and safe.
Eating for a Healthier Planet
This year’s theme also reminds us that climate action starts here. We are not only concerned about what food does to the body; we care about what it does to the earth.
Through our blog and social media, we share how to:
- Choose foods with a lower environmental footprint
- Embrace seasonal, unprocessed ingredients
- Reduce waste with smart planning and creative leftovers
You don’t need a garden or a greenhouse to make an impact. You need a plate and a will.
The Future of Public Health Starts With You
Our Health Will community is growing because of individuals like you, advocates, learners, and eaters who believe that food can heal, protect, and restore. This week, we challenge you to:
- Cook a healing meal and share it with someone.
- Read a label before you buy and choose the least processed option.
- Attend a local or virtual event celebrating public health.
- Use your voice to support food policy reform that makes nutritious foods more affordable and accessible.
Let’s Make It Happen Together!
This National Public Health Week, let us remember that it starts here, in our homes, kitchens, communities, and hearts. At Health Will Organization, we are honored to lead conversations and actions that connect public health to everyday eating.
Stay informed, stay nourished, and stay committed.
Happy National Public Health Week from Health Will Organization!
