At our last Brown Bag event in Sacramento at the California Healthcare Foundation, Jared Rutledge, a senior epidemiologist in the department and Sara Bosse, from the department’s Office of Policy, Planning and Communication spoke about an interactive map application they’ve been working on to map the county’s health issues.

They demoed the new mapping tool that displays and compares different regions of the county on several established health indicators including Cal-Enviroscreen 2.0 data, Pre-mature mortality data, Cause Specific Mortality Data, Pre-term birth, Socioeconomic Status, Infectious Disease Data and Behavioral/Mental Health Data…just to name a few!
