The Children’s Health and Education Mapping Tool
Our mapping tool was developed in partnership with HealthLandscape to harness the power of geographic information systems (GIS) technology for data-driven decision-making. This tool is a resource for those seeking to address the chronic inequities that persist among low-income children and adolescents in health care access and utilization.
