The Appalachian Regional Commission, in partnership with Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, completed the "Health Disparities in Appalachia" report in 2017 and quickly knew they wanted an interactive way for Appalachian communities to access the data, better understand the research, and make data-driven decisions.
The Health in Appalachia Hub and a custom report were created to integrate the 41 indicators used in the static report into an interactive environment. In addition to custom indicators, the report called for a variety of custom geographies to be generated to accommodate regional and sub-regional boundaries. These same data spill over from the report into a custom map room.

health. CHC Ohio is lead by the Ohio Department of Public Health and includes 22 counties across the state. Each county is funded to make healthy impacts across the three main focus areas of the initiative and the CHC Ohio Hub facilitates the collection of the quarterly data updates from each of the participating counties.
