Health Care Access in South Carolina

This page is an exploration into the availability of health care resources across South Carolina. This interactive dashboard provides key insights into health care access, displaying the number of clinicians in each county, the rate of physicians per 100,000 individuals, and the total population of each county. By examining these metrics, users can gain an understanding of the health care infrastructure in South Carolina's counties, helping identify areas with potential gaps or disparities in access to medical care.

As we continuously enhance this dashboard, we plan to incorporate additional layers of information, such as the average distance traveled to health care facilities and medically underserved areas on the map of South Carolina. These future updates aim to provide a more comprehensive picture of health care accessibility.
