(KTNC)-- Nebraska rose one notch and again ranks in the top ten on the latest report that rates the states for their health and wellbeing. Dr. Rhonda Randall, spokeswoman for the United Health Foundation, says the list is compiled by comparing 30 criteria in four main categories: behaviors, community environment, public policy and the clinical care system.
Randall says Nebraska rose one spot from number 11 last year to number 10 this year. When the report was started in 1990 Nebraska was number 5. Nebraska has been in the top 20 states over the last 25 years
Randall says Nebraska had excellent showings in several categories this year, including placing first in the nation in high school graduation rates and second in immunization coverage for children. See the full report at Americas Health Rankings-dot-org.
