Our 2020 State Health Report is now available. In the new report, the State Board of Health (Board) makes four recommendations to the Governor and Legislature for their consideration regarding Washington's public health system. The Board supports improving the public's health by decreasing the use of tobacco, nicotine and vapor products among Washingtonians; dismantling racism and improving equity in state government; making school environments health and safe for students; and strengthening and improving public health through foundational public health services.
