Staff attended many different meetings in 2004. Many daycare, food handling, smoking cessation and abstinence classes were conducted. Staff serve on a large variety of boards, committees, councils, and coalitions affecting the lives of all Camden County residents. Thousands of phone calls, requests for information and data inquiries were handled by Camden County Health Department. This is only an estimate of the total services provided as it is impossible to collect accurate daily totals of all areas of our work which affects county residents.
