Our Project

Our team worked to develop a user-friendly dashboard to consolidate community health information on various health indicators in an engaging format to serve the greater Worcester area. This served the dual purpose of providing lawmakers and healthcare leadership with the information required to make effective decisions on community health, as well as to assist the public with finding vital health data.
