Key factors utilized in establishing priorities for the Miami-Dade County Health Department are: state mandated priorities; analysis of countywide statistics that reflect key health status indicators and disease trends; competitive market trends; and staff/budget capabilities. These factors, combined with input received from customer and stakeholder groups throuhhout the year, which include clients, community-based organizations, contract providers and employees, coupled with the overall mission and vision of the MDCHD, are the basis for selection of the following three strategic priorities for 2007-2012:

1. Public Health Wellness, Access, Prevention and Protection
2. Health System Preparedness
3. Organizational Development
