Health and human services professionals are benefiting from insights that the power of place brings to their work. Spatial data and geographic information system (GIS) technology can underscore coverage gaps in the populations we hope to reach, the opportunities to improve workflows, and the ability to plan for and mitigate against unforeseen events. Applied GIS leads to improved health outcomes, increased accessibility to health care, and healthier communities.
