In cooperation with the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, the Population Health Toolkit provides visualizations of data from multiple sources that answer questions that rural hospitals and communities have about the health of their communities.
Are you looking for data to support an idea or story for your rural community?
Do you wonder about the relationship with poverty, preventable hospital stays, and access to mental health providers? Have you examined the socioeconomic status of your community related to well-being?
These are just a few questions you can explore in the Toolkit.
- The Toolkit crosswalks multiple federal, publicly available datasets.
- Data visualizations provide a concise and easy to understand story of your data.
Explore your data further by downloading the information to create your own analysis and graphs.
