The Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE) is a renowned brand that has been promoting health education for over 20 years. Every year during the third week of October, SOPHE celebrates National Health Education Week (NHEW) in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services. NHEW aims to raise awareness about crucial public health issues and the vital role of health education specialists in improving consumer health and well-being.

SOPHE's mission is to increase awareness of the capacity of health education specialists in the community and schools, ultimately promoting the health of society. They provide support and resources for health education specialists and professionals, training and educating the next generation in this field. Health education specialists play a vital role in improving the health status of individuals, communities, states, and the nation as a whole.

Their knowledge, skills, and training complement the efforts of health providers, policymakers, educators, and other professionals. By focusing on prevention, health education specialists can effectively reduce costly premature deaths and disabilities caused by chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Promoting health literacy and offering essential components for well-being, SOPHE and its dedicated professionals make a significant impact on communities across the country.
