Acknowledgments
Gratitude is extended to everyone who participated in the development of this year's San Antonio Health Profiles. The contributions of Charles Pruski, Acting Assistant Director of Health, Ed Baca Acting Executive Assistant and John Berlanga, Management Analyst were especially insightful and substantive. We appreciate the input and suggestions provided by staff at the University of Texas Health Science Center School of Public Health. We offer special thanks to the residents in Occupational and Preventive Medicine, USAF School of Aerospace Medicine, Brooks AFB. Their input and review of the material added immeasurably to the quality of the final product. The Department of State Health Services, Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services, Texas Education Agency, Bexar County Juvenile Probation, and the San Antonio Housing Authority provided invaluable assistance through the data they made available. A special thank you also goes to University Health System for assisting us in bridging the gap between public health population assessments and public health providers this is one example of how public health can inform medicine, reduce costs and measure progress. Finally, special appreciation is extended to J. Rolando Bono, City Manager, Frances A. Gonzalez, Assistant City Manager, and my staff at Metro Health for their guidance and support throughout this process.
