St. Johns County is ranked as one of the top two healthiest counties in Florida!

The 2010 County Health Rankings report, produced by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, was released on February 17, 2010. This report is a collection of 50 health reports, one per state, which reflect the overall health of counties in every state across the nation.

St. Johns County ranked as number 1 out of 67 counties with respect to health factors. The County also ranked as number 2 out of 67 with respect to health outcomes.

The 2010 County Health Rankings report helps us see how where we live, learn, work and play influence how healthy we are and how long we live. This report is the first year of a three-year study that will allow for the identification of trends and progress across the entire study.

Health is everyone’s responsibility. The public health, health care, business, education and government sectors must recognize all of the factors that influence the health of our community so we can continue to work together to create programs and policies that will help our citizens to lead healthier lives.
