COLORADO, USA — Health and wellness are a critical part of every Coloradan's life. In fact, according to CDPHE, over half (66.8%) of Coloradans are living with a chronic disease with 39.8% being afflicted by two or more.
Even with chronic health issues, Coloradans are some of the most physically active Americans. According to the latest CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data, 83.3% of Coloradans say they've exercised in the past month, making Colorado the most active state in the US.
