After a mid-year merger of its Yukon and El Reno clinics, the Canadian County Health Department (CCHD) reported a slight increase in services provided during 2024.

Client encounters totaled 13,946 – up 156 from the 13,790 client encounters in 2023. Encounters ranged between about 1,000 and 1,300 per month.

These numbers highlight the CCHD’s 2024 annual report, presented Feb. 3 to Canadian County commissioners.
