Today is National Child Health Day
Monday, October 3rd, 2011, marks the 83rd annual National Child Health Day, an observance of child and maternal health sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services.
Last year, President Barack Obama acknowledged the observance with this proclamation:
The health and well being of a child is one of our most challenging, yet important, responsibilities, and we have an obligation to ensure that all our children can live, learn, and play in safe and healthy environments. On Child Health Day, we reaffirm the critical importance of the quality health care, nutritious foods, clean air and water, and safe communities our kids need to grow into strong and active adults.
