Detroit Health Department hosting Public Health Week in communities
The Detroit Health Department is hosting a Public Health Week through Saturday, April 11, to provide resources in neighborhoods.
The citywide initiative, which kicked off on Tuesday, offers free services, such as health screenings, immunizations, overdose prevention resources, lead testing and vision and hearing screenings. No appointment or ID is required.
"Public health only works if it's close to people's lives," said Chief Public Health Officer and Director Ali Abazeed in a statement. "That means showing up in neighborhoods, removing barriers, and making it easier for Detroiters to access care. Public Health Week is both a call to action and a recognition of the public health workforce, especially the staff of the Detroit Health Department, whose daily work makes a healthier city possible."
Services are available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.
