Gwinnett No. 4 among counties in state health rankings

Forsyth County is the healthiest in Georgia for the fifth straight year and Gwinnett ranks No. 4, according to the 2017 County Health Rankings. The list was released Wednesday by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.

The rest of the top 10 are: Oconee, Fayette, Gwinnett, Cherokee, Columbia, Cobb, Harris, Coweta and Paulding. Those were the same as last year, though in a different order.
