New Year's Resolution Message from WHF President & CEO, Greg Vigdor:

"It's a new year, and time to strengthen our resolve to make Washington the Healthiest State in the Nation," said WHF President & CEO Greg Vigdor. "That is why today we are challenging Washingtonians to make and keep their personal healthy New Year's resolutions in 2008. We made great strides in 2007 moving up three spots in the latest state health rankings (from 15th to 12th) and want to continue that momentum as we move into the new year.

"We've created a fun, easy and high-tech way to help people stick to their personal goals for 2008. From walking more to eating right and losing weight, Champions can see their progress online. And this year, you'll find new features such as video and we added a few new health trackers in 2007: dental health, sleep, water and tobacco cessation. Participants also get access to health information and tips to help them meet their goals and stay motivated. If we all stick to our New Year's Resolutions and log our miles at HealthiestState.org, Washington will be that much closer to becoming the Healthiest State in the Nation."
