DENVER ~ In a recent study on the health and wellness of states, Colorado has been ranked as the second healthiest state in the country. The study, which looked at various factors such as obesity rates and outdoor activity, placed Colorado at the top of the list for lowest obesity rates and third for most outdoor activity.
Governor Jared Polis expressed his excitement about Colorado's ranking, stating that the state is dedicated to promoting healthy choices and improving access to healthcare. He believes that this focus on health will continue to have a positive impact on Colorado's overall well-being and move them towards becoming a leading state in terms of health.

Governor Polis has been a strong advocate for healthcare access, nutrition improvement, and lowering prescription drug costs since his time in congress. Under his leadership, Colorado has taken significant steps towards achieving these goals. The state has submitted an application to import lower cost prescription drugs, signed into law the landmark Colorado Option and reinsurance initiative to expand healthcare access, and recently received federal approval to increase access to healthy food options for Coloradans receiving SNAP benefits.
With these efforts in place, it is no surprise that Colorado continues to rank highly in terms of health and wellness. The state's commitment to promoting a healthy lifestyle is deeply ingrained in its culture, making it a leader in this area. As Governor Polis continues to prioritize healthcare access and affordability, it is likely that Colorado will maintain its position as one of the healthiest states in the nation.
