Purpose

Directors of Public Health have a statutory requirement to write
an annual report on the health of their population. It is an
independent report written by the Director of Public Health (DPH)
and acts as a vehicle to inform system leaders and residents about
the health of their community, raise particular health issues and
identify gaps or priorities that need to be addressed by local
decision makers.
