Health officials are committed to transparency and community engagement throughout this transition, seeking input from local stakeholders to better understand the health priorities of residents. As the department navigates this challenging financial landscape, it aims to continue delivering quality health services despite the looming budget challenges. The focus will remain on safeguarding the health and well-being of the community during this period of adjustment.
