Together, let’s make Iowa the healthiest state in the nation by 2016.

According to the 2011 Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index^®, Iowa is #16 in the nation when it comes to being physically, emotionally and mentally healthy. We know we can do better, so we plan to claim the #1 spot by 2016. It’s ambitious, but with your help, we can help change Iowa and show the rest of the nation the road to wellness. Take the pledge to help create a healthier, happier Iowa today!
