DENVER, CO — Denver is considered among the most healthy counties in Colorado, according to this year's recently released County Health Rankings and Roadmaps.
Published annually for the last decade, County Health Rankings is a program led by the University of Wisconsin's Population Health Institute. The goal of the rankings is to help communities better address disparities in health care access.
The rankings look at a variety of measures that affect a community's health, including high school graduation rates and access to healthy foods. Rates for smoking, obesity and teen births are also incorporated.
