Everything PHMC does flows from data and research, allowing us to provide high quality, evidence-based programs and services reaching the people who need them most. As the US Census Bureau prepares for the upcoming Census 2010, PHMC strongly encourages area residents to complete and return the questionnaire, which is due to hit mailboxes in March 2010. Census data directly affect the amount of federal and state funding that our communities receive over the course of the next decade for public health, education, neighborhood improvements, senior services, transportation and much more. Census data also determine our community’s representation in Congress and legislative redistricting. Spending just a few minutes to complete your census form will help ensure representation, access and funding for your community.
