The Opportunity Agenda, an advocacy group for things like social justice and health care equality has a new project: HealthCareThatWorks which puts the spotlight on where hospitals are closing in NYC and who it is effecting most. Guess what, yep it turns out they are mostly closing in poor, non-white areas. You can check out the history of hospital closings over the last 20 years using their new map.



Bragging Points
Also cool about this map is that the Opportunity Agenda contracted me to develop this map for them! I can not lay claim to the very nice look of the map, but I did all the technical aspects of the map and put together the overlay maps that show areas by ethnic density and poverty density. It was a really great project and I am proud they called me for this.
