Critical Care Providers Should Know
Every year in California, the previous year is assessed as far as health concerns and crises. The state uses the information to both better understand its residents and find a way to treat and help them if there is a possibility to do so. California is proactive in identifying health trends and health risks and taking steps to educate the public about living healthy lives.
All of these statistics come from the Center for Disease Control and the California State Department of Health.

Every year, the California Department of Public Health releases a statement with five key goals for the year. The items included in that list are critical care, non-critical care, personnel matters, and trying to combat various illnesses and diseases that are affecting the general health of California residents. For example, some of their goals in 2010 were to increase the number of adults receiving the influenza vaccine, reduce cigarette smoking by adults, and reducing the number of adults that are obese. The goals are general in purpose in order to allow local physicians and other health care providers the ability to provide their input.
The state of California also recently released programs designed to help people pay for some of their health screenings, including cervical, prostate, breast, and HIV/AIDs. The goal is to people to willing be tested for various diseases early on so they are easier to cure and manage.
