  • Ranked "Florida's Healthiest County"

    The County Health Rankings is a report that ranks nearly every county in all 50 states on Health Outcomes (today's health) and Health Factors (tomorrow's health). The report helps all communities recognize how important a good quality of life is - where residents live, learn, work and play can influence how healthy they are and how long they live. For the sixth consecutive year, St. Johns County ranked #1 in Florida in Health Outcomes and #1 in Health Factors. Some examples of the measures used to calculate the Rankings include: rates of sexually transmitted diseases; rates of low birth babies; rates of teenage pregnancies; rates of preventable hospital stays; rates of high school graduation; access to recreational facilities; and rates of violent crime.

    "As we track and measure health outcomes and factors related to health behaviors, clinical care, social and environmental factors and the physical environment, we are reminded that there is no finish line in our efforts for better health," said Dawn Allicock, M.D., Director/Health Officer, Florida Department of Health in St. Johns County.  "Building and maintaining a culture of health requires the on going collaboration and combined efforts of a wide range of community partners from all sectors."
