Department of Health in St. Johns County Addresses the County Health Rankings Report

Full Story
For the seventh year in a row, St. Johns County is ranked #1 in Florida in Health Outcomes (measures of today’s health) and #1 in Health Factors (measures of tomorrow’s health) in the national 2018 County Health Rankings Report.
