Your County's Health

If you click on this link you will come to a website which has a map of the USA.  If you click on a state you will then be able to select a county.  There you can view health outcomes and health factors.  The counties are ranked and compared to the national average on certain factors.  Factors include obesity and smoking rates, percent of women receiving mammograms, people reporting poor health and a county's rates of premature death, etc.  Click on any highlighted area for more information.  It is a very interesting and interactive awareness tool. Don't be afraid to explore the web page. If you get lost somewhere, just come back to this blog and click on the main link again.
