These 12 Counties Have The Healthiest People In All Of Mississippi
Let’s face it, Mississippi isn’t exactly known for being among the nation’s healthiest states. In fact, it’s the opposite. The Magnolia State has consistently come in last place in studies like this one by America’s Health Rankings. However, we decided to focus on the positive and, with the help of County Health Rankings & Roadmaps, put together this list of the healthiest counties in Mississippi. For County Health Rankings & Roadmaps’ complete report, (which considered things such as length of life, quality of life, health behaviors, clinical care, social and economic factors, and physical environment), click here.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate
