In 2021, the system successfully achieved or surpassed each of its three organizational goals, particularly in the Asian and Latina/Hispanic communities, where screening rates were previously lowest. The overall population achieved the target screening rate of 76%, which was in line with the established goal. The Asian population screening rate was 71%, aligning exactly with the specific goal, and the Latina/Hispanic population exceeded expectations, reaching a 73% screening rate, which surpassed the goal of 72%.
