County Health Rankings

The County Health Rankings (CHR) project, a collaboration of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute (UWPHI), released the 2011 Rankings report on March 30, 2011. As a public health practitioner, you are able to use the Rankings to tell a story about health in your community and about any changes that have taken place since the initial release of the Rankings in 2010.

To assist in your efforts to publicize this information, Mobilizing Action Towards Community Health (MATCH) scheduled webinars that provided information about the Rankings report and other effective strategies and tactics to help local health departments and other agencies develop messages and get them out. Visit the County Health Rankings website for information about accessing archived webinars.
