Programs and Initiatives
The DHS Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention Program efforts are supported by funds from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The tobacco control program is also funded with tobacco tax revenues designated by Ballot Measure 44 passed by Oregon voters in 1996.
