Local Health Departments Advance Health Equity with GIS
An ebook highlights local health departments that leveraged location intelligence to address health disparities within their communities.
Take a geographic approach to systemic change and health equity
Ongoing crises—from the COVID-19 pandemic to natural disasters made more severe by climate change—have made local health departments more aware of the need to find solutions to systemic health inequities. Often rooted in historical oppression and discriminatory policies and practices, these inequities unfairly distribute resources that create poor health outcomes in predominately Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) neighborhoods.
In this ebook by Esri and the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), you'll learn how geographic information system (GIS) technology helps local governments communicate, prioritize, and make decisions that support systemic change and increase health equity.
