2021 County Health Rankings & Roadmaps

The County Health Rankings & Roadmaps is a program of the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute supported by  the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The program aims to improve health outcomes for all communities by providing a reliable, sustainable source of local data and evidence to communities. Here are some highlights from the 2021 County Health Rankings & Roadmaps Report for Hawai‘i:
