Child Health Day is observed annually on the first Monday of October in the United States. Established by a joint resolution of Congress and first celebrated in 1928, this day is dedicated to promoting awareness about the importance of children's health and well-being.
The day focuses on a variety of child health issues, including physical fitness, nutrition, access to healthcare, and prevention of illnesses. It highlights the need for early intervention, education, and parental involvement to ensure the healthy development of children. Various public health organizations, schools, and community groups often hold events to raise awareness and provide resources to support children's physical and mental health.
In 2024, Child Health Day falls on October 7.
