Preface

Each year, CDC works diligently with its partners throughout

the United States to promote health and quality of life by preventing

and controlling disease, injury, and disability nationally and

internationally.

Since 1987, CDC has highlighted its partnerships with state

and local health departments and other public and private agencies

through the annual State Health Profiles. Public health officials and

policymakers have used these profiles, which include all 50 states

and the District of Columbia, as a snapshot of the nation’s health.

They have also used them to monitor how federal funds and

programs aimed at improving the nation’s health are being applied

at state and local levels.

The 2002 profiles have been streamlined into one publication

that offers easy comparisons among all states. This new format focuses on key information

regarding the nation’s overall health status, distribution of federal health-care expenditures

and services, and CDC’s partnerships with the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

CDC’s collaborative efforts with partners at the federal, state, and local levels have lead to

major public health achievements during the past 100 years, including record low rates for

vaccine-preventable diseases, decreases in infant mortality rates, control of infectious diseases,

and declines in heart disease and deaths caused by strokes.

By providing meaningful public health information to policymakers and the public through

the annual State Health Profiles, we strive to continue our efforts to improve the nation’s

health. We hope you find this publication useful.
