1  Services are provided by contracted hospital and community health partners who have seen an increase in participants in smoking cessation classes post-pandemic. The State provides projections for future years. The program aims to create more community partnerships and programs, increase public awareness through community and radio advertising, and create a youth-focused campaign to continue public education on harmful effects of vaping and tobacco use.
2  The number of screenings performed is anticipated to remain about the same as residents resume scheduling elective procedures post-COVID.
3  The number of new clients undergoing colonoscopies remained stable between FY23 and FY24. The program anticipates an increase in coming years as clients resume scheduling elective procedures but has set a target of 75%. In FY24, 163 new clients had a colonoscopy of a total 220 scheduled.
4  The first half of FY24 saw a surge in outreach events after which the number of people encountered declined. This surge in activities was an anomaly. As such, projections for future years are in line with past performance and what has been submitted to the state.
