 The purposes of this report are to identify areas for the Nebraska Cardiovascular Health Program to focus programmatic activities, provide support for the development of a comprehensive cardiovascular disease state plan, and to increase CVD awareness among key decision makers in Nebraska that will result in increased attention and funding. Another purpose is to provide data that will identify highest-risk populations and identify opportunities for intervention.
