See where your county ranks in the Texas section of the U.S. County Health Rankings.
Gray County doesn't fare too well, coming in at 192 out of 221.
I noticed something odd about the Texas map:

Down at the very corner of the of the "panhandle" part (but NOT part of the Panhandle) are two counties, Loving and Ward. I thought it funny that they are abbreviated "Lov" and "War".
I've always heard "All's fair in love and war.". I guess that's why they're also next to Winkler County..."WIN" (and if you decided to get married, you'd need a "REV")

Denton came in #3. Who was first...do you know?
According to the Texas Summary Report (pdf), Williamson Co. (Georgetown, n. of Austin) is #1.
I had noticed Denton being up there. The pdf explains the methodology used, but I expect all the young people in Denton helps to skew the statistics, plus the better health care available.
On a related "health" note, Joe T. fell off his roof yesterday, broke two ribs, punctured a lung and isn't doing too well according to his daughter. Haven't heard anything since this morning.
