County Health Rankings
County Health Rankings Show There is More to Health Than Health Care
Annual Health Check-Up Highlights Healthiest and Least Healthy Counties in Every State
How healthy is your county? A new set of reports released today rank the over! all health of nearly every county in the nation, confirming for the second year the critical role that factors such as education, jobs, income, environment and access to health care play in how healthy people are and how long they live.
Published online at www.countyhealthrankings.org by the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the County Health Rankings look at a variety of measures that affect health, such as high school graduation rates, access to healthier foods, air pollution levels, income, and rates of smoking, obesity and teen births. The Rankings is the only tool of its kind that allows people to see how their county compares with others in their state and against national benchmarks in areas like diabetes screening rates or number of uninsured adults, and makes it possible for leaders in all sectors to identify gaps and work together to develop solutions.
In conjunction with the release of the Rankings, the University of Wisconsin and the Foundation will launch a new program that includes funding up to 14 communities across the country to use the Rankings to improve the health of their residents.
• Learn more about the County Health Rankings and community action to improve health.
• Read the County Health Rankings press release.
• View a new webinar and read issue briefs highlighting the latest research on the social factors that influence health.
