According to America's Health Rankings, Hawaii is the healthiest state in the nation in 2013. The study is sponsored by the United Health Foundation in partnership with the American Public Health Association and Partnership in Prevention, whose goal is to improve health across the country. This top ranking is welcome news to Loretta Fuddy, the state Health Director. Fuddy commented, "Hawaii's No. 1 ranking is encouraging and reminds us how fortunate we are to live in the Aloha State. I really think it's a testament to the support that we do have from Gov. Abercrombie and the Legislature in helping us build back services. No one receives these awards by themselves. All of what we do is in partnership with the private sector."
Vermont, which ranked first in 2012, dropped to second. Minnesota was the third healthiest state. The three least health states were Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi.
