Interactive Data Map: Community Pharmacies

About this Resource: 

Region IV is the largest HHS region, comprised of eight states and 26% of the U.S. population. These states have large rural populations, high poverty rates, and face racial and cultural disparities in care. In addition, the Southeast states have considerable clinical, geographic, workforce, and health system differences that often impact access to care.   These factors are important considerations when planning mental health care and support services as well as identifying the availability of other potential community resources that could temporarily fill gaps in care if needed.

The Southeast MHTTC Data Visualization Project provides information on Region IV priorities in an easy to understand graphical format. Click on the "View Resource" button to access this map and learn more about the availability of community pharmacies.
