Minnesota ranks as one of the healthiest states in the nation. But to keep our lead, we must do even better. We can do so by working on the leading preventable causes of illness and death, which include tobacco use and physical inactivity.

Our mission is to protect, maintain and improve the health of all Minnesotans. Results measured against goals let us as a community know how we are doing. Let's keep pressing forward for a healthy Minnesota, well into the future.
