Health & Family
Virginia's goal is to inspire and support Virginians toward healthy lives and strong and resilient families.
- The rate of teen pregnancy has declined in Virginia.
- Obesity among Virginians is increasing.
- Virginia has the second lowest rate of foster care among the states.
- Virginia's rate of infant mortality is higher than the national average.
