The PA Healthcare Facility Dashboard is an interactive spatial analysis tool designed to visualize the distribution and coverage of healthcare resources across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

This dashboard provides stakeholders, researchers, and the general public with a clear view of where critical health services are located, facilitating better understanding of resource accessibility.

Key Features

• Interactive Mapping: Built with Leaflet.js, featuring a high-contrast "Navigation Night" base map for data visibility.
• Multi-Layer Visualization: Distinct layers for four major facility types:
  • 🏥 Hospitals

  • ⚕️ Intermediate Care Facilities
  • 🏠 Home Health Agencies
• Smart Search: Real-time filtering allows users to search facilities by name or street address.
