Michigan launches new health metrics dashboard for Senate and House districts

Michigan's Department of Health has unveiled a new dashboard designed to enhance public access to vital health metrics across Senate and House districts. This innovative tool provides comprehensive data on clinical care, health behaviors, health outcomes, and the social or economic environments affecting communities.

The dashboard allows users to search for specific districts, presenting key metrics in a clear table format. Additionally, each health indicator features its own dedicated page, enabling comparisons between districts statewide. Users can visualize data through interactive maps and bar charts, which are color-coded to indicate whether a district's performance is on par with, better than, or worse than the state average.

This resource aims to empower both local teams and the public by providing essential health information, fostering informed decision-making and community engagement. As the department continues to refine this tool, it hopes to enhance its utility for stakeholders across Michigan.
