HSIN #1 Logo

The Washington Health Foundation has selected six key health outcomes and 12 indicators of health risk to judge our state's overall health in the areas of Healthy Systems and Healthy Living.

The outcomes and all but a few of the indicators are a combination of health measures and indicators already used by state and national health rating organizations. A complete discussion and identification of these measures and the specific sources from which the data will be derived is found below.
