TARGET POPULATION <br />During the 1990 -1991 fiscal year, the Orange County Health Department - Health <br />Promotion Program will continue to develop and maintain the Orange County <br />employee wellness program and serve the target population described in the <br />1988 -1989 Contract Addendum. Because the data suggest that males are more at <br />risk for cardiovascular disease, cancer and injuries, special effort will be <br />made to reach out to this population. <br />Additionally, the Health Promotion program will expand to facilitate health <br />promotion initiatives at local businesses, agencies, and community <br />organizations. The population served will be at worksites, churches, and <br />community events. Special emphasis will be given to hard to reach, at risk, <br />male populations. <br />Reviewed by <br />DEHNR 3300 (Revised 2/90) <br />General Services Division (Review 1/95) Initials Date <br />
