Mississippi has improved some of its poor health outcomes, but its people are more likely to die unnecessarily than residents of any other state, the state's top health official said Thursday. State Health Officer Dr. Daniel Edney urged legislators who just began this year's session to work with health officials to improve Mississippi's status as the nation's unhealthiest state, ranking at the bottom of virtually every health care indicator and at the top of every health disparity. “If we choose the right policies for our people, we will see us move off the radar of having the highest rate of preventable death," Edney said at a news conference inside the Mississippi Capitol.
