About Child Health Day
Child Health Day is a national observance in the U.S., not a public holiday.
On Child Health Day, the emphasis is to help raise an awareness and a commitment to teaching children the benefits of good health and teaching parents how they can help and protect their children with good nutrition, year round fitness and exercise.
The day was proclamated in 1928 by Calvin Coolidge to increase awareness of health issues facing the children in the U.S. including health issues, healthy eating, fitness, child's development, immunizations, preventing injuries, and more.
