Cigarette smoking among adolescents also declined to nearly one in ten, the lowest rate ever measured in the state. Click the banner above to learn more!
How Is Our Website?
As part of our continued efforts to make our website easier for you to use, we have prepared a simple 3 question survey which will take 2-3 minutes of your time. The results help us plan future improvements to enhance your experience and increase satisfaction.
Healthy Aging
Healthy Aging is the development and maintenance of optimal mental, social and physical well-being and function in older adults. This is most likely to be achieved when communities are safe, promote health and well-being, and use health services and community programs to prevent or minimize disease.
