Massachusetts leads the other states in the Northeast in cardiovascular related deaths. For every 100,000 residents of Massachusetts, two hundred and thirty-two die from cardiovascular related issues. Also, the adult obesity rate in Massachusetts is very low and ranks second only to Connecticut. The percentage of obese adults in this state is 23.6%. Keep in mind that the regional average is 25.86%.
When it comes to the percentage of people who do not have health coverage, Massachusetts not only has the lowest regional rate, but is also the national leader. Only 5% of the population in Massachusetts goes without health coverage. There is an incredibly disparity between this percentage and the country’s worst, Texas, at 25%. Overall, Massachusetts is a relatively healthy state.

The boy was revived and was taken to the nearest hospital for advanced care and evaluation.
Feb 25, 2014 --Being a lifeguard has its perks and one of it is the knowledge and training on proper CPR. Brandon Prentis works as a lifeguard, but he never thought his training will be used in an apartment building, where Caleb Huntington collapsed due to cardiac arrest. The 19-year-old immediately began chest compressions while Meng Howe Lime, Huntington’s friend, called 911 for help. When paramedics arrived, Brandon was doing so well that they ordered him to keep going while they prepare the defibrillator. Huntington was rushed into the hospital and was expected to recover fully after cardiac undergoing rehabilitation. The victim was eternally grateful to the lifeguard.
