¹  The program saw an increase in people encountered at community outreach events and health fairs in FY24, alongside increased participation in the SMILE program and Chronic Disease and Wellness programs. Further, the program added substance abuse programming, prevention, and screenings.
²  Data reflect satisfaction across all African American Health Program initiatives. The slight increase in FY24 can be attributed to AAHP's commitment to ensuring participants receive culturally competent services from skilled staff.
³  Increase in FY24 due to the percentage of those enrolled who reduced their A1C at three, six, and nine months.
⁴  Due to a funding increase in FY24, the Asian American Health Initiative provided $1.5 million in grants through Healthy Communities Fund (HCF) and $101K in grants through Asian American Center of Excellence Micro-grants (AACE). There were 191,383 people served through HCF, 122 through AACE, and 4,171 through various outreach activities and the AAPI heritage month celebration. Projections are based on an anticipated decrease in funding from the Maryland Department of Health.
⁵  Asian American Health Initiative contractors collect satisfaction levels across all programs. FY24 performance is based on 331 responses.
⁶  Based on average results across three types of programs -- those administered by Asian American Health Initiative (AAHI) staff, those administered by AAHI contractor, and those administered by AAHI Health Communities Fund grant recipients. Overall performance in FY24 based on 1,622 responses.
⁷  In FY24, the Latino Health Initiative saw a small increase compared to previous years, largely due to the inclusion of individuals reached through outreach events and community health fairs. In line with this, LHI increased the number of clients served in the climate and health program and piloted a new substance use prevention program. Over 52,000 individuals were served through 883 outreach activities and events.
⁸  In FY24, the Latino Health Initiative improved its survey methodology to ensure it is sampling across all of its programs. Performance based on 3,475 survey responses.
⁹  Average increase in wages was calculated using the wage of the two Registered Nurses (RN) who secured employment during FY24.
