Massachusetts residents rank third nationally in health and social standings

H Barry Waldman et al. J Mass Dent Soc. 2004 Fall.

Abstract

Residents of Massachusetts are positioned at almost the highest/most favorable end of all state rankings based on an overall listing of health, social conditions, and services. However, while these statistics are encouraging, they are not uniform throughout all population groups in the state. The challenge is to move beyond complacency with current standings to reach those in need.
