The program was a statewide media effort paired with an equal investment in targeted, in-person outreach spanning eight counties and 72 municipalities.
Our team activated over 300 community stakeholders, including elected officials, faith leaders, hospitals and senior centers, tribal organizations, and local non-profits, to inform them of the program and schedule events with their constituents.

This stakeholder outreach, in combination with our direct outreach, helped amplify the impact of the media-based messaging.
