| Abstract | In 2010, the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, in collaboration with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, began the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps program. Through its analysis of numerous robust data sources, covering more than two dozen discrete health factors, the County Health Rankings project is able to provide an annual ranking of nearly all of the counties of every state, from most to least healthy. Sangamon County, Illinois, is home to approximately 200,000 residents, the Illinois state capital (Springfield), a community-based medical school (Southern Illinois University School of Medicine), large private and university medical practice groups, and two hospitals (including a Level I Trauma Center), and has an uninsured rate more than 30% below the state average. Given these characteristics, it is not surprising that, of the state’s 102 counties, Sangamon County ranked number 1 in the Clinical Care factor in the Illinois County Health Rankings in 2012. In fact, because of its favorable ratio of primary care physicians to population, Sangamon County was one of the top counties in the country on that measurement. |
