Tutorial for Health The GIS Tutorial for Health workbook introduces you to GIS using health care policy and planning scenarios.

Children and families in your communities need services and a way to find out what and where services are available.

Online or with printed maps, GIS easily communicates location and availability of resources to beneficiaries. GIS also provides an effective tool for case management, community assessment, and services gap identification. GIS mapping and analysis results offer valuable information for planning intervention and support programs, determining program eligibility, and finding access to services.
