title: New York State health profile.
abstract: The CDC publications on state health profiles provide an opportunity to compare the general health of New York State residents with that of the rest of the country. While many areas of improvement and favorable state rankings are reported, limitations, particularly for minority populations, are highlighted. A summary of many of these findings is provided.
