    Interesting list of localities in Virginia by health outcomes:

    http://www.countyhealthrankings.org/app/virginia/2016/rankings/outcomes/overall

  2. Henrico – 18th highest per capita income and 34th in health outcomes. I should note that adjusted for cost of living Henrico would even be higher on the per capita income list.

    Fairfax County – 4th in per capita and 2nd in health outcomes.

    Jim – I called my contacts at INOVA … they are willing to completely outsource Henrico County’s healthcare system. They know a charity case when they see one.

      I’m sure Mr. Bacon can correct me if I’m wrong, but I imagine that west of 95, Henrico is probably at the top of the state for incomes/health outcomes…east of 95 would be in the bottom half for both….
