"You might think we’re one of the healthiest nations, but we’re not. Compared to other developed nations, we’re lagging far behind. The thing is: It doesn’t have to be this way. We can make this the healthiest nation in one generation. Committing to a healthier America is something we all can do."

The Get Ready campaign is sponsored by the American Public Health Association, of which NYSPHA is affiliated.
