This year marks the 20th Anniversary Edition of America`s Health RankingsTM, the longest running annual assessment of our nation`s health on a state-by-state basis. Based on two decades of consistent tracking, the 2009 Rankings calls for the nation to change unhealthy behaviors that are contributing to preventable, chronic diseases as the key to improving our nation`s health. Trends cite smoking as the greatest health challenge of the past 20 years and warn obesity is likely to be the next national health battle. When it comes to our national pursuit of health, Americans have benefited from disease treatment while preventable illnesses continue to decrease quality of life for many. With focused attention, change is possible. To spread the word and motivate action, download the press release, key findings and other materials now.
