Reports & Statistics

Statistics and reports are important tools that help Public Health and our partners make evidence-based decisions. We believe that programs and services informed by evidence are the foundation for effective public health practice. This section includes reports related to the health of local residents as well as public health programming and organizational priorities.

We recommend using our Interactive Reports for dynamic data visualizations that illustrate the issues that impact the health of local residents.

Client Service Reports

Public Health is in the process of developing a comprehensive Client Service Strategy. In order to inform this strategy, we sought to:

  • Better understand what clients experienced when accessing our services
  • Understand employee perspectives on the quality of service provided to clients

The results of the surveys are intended to act as a baseline measure of client service and identify areas for future improvement. Each survey assessed five areas of client service: accessibility, communication, professionalism, satisfaction and public relations.
