The Healthy Regions & Policy Lab is housed at the Center for Spatial Data Science and integrates innovative GIScience, public health, and statistical approaches to explore, understand, and promote healthy regions and policies.
Spatial Data Science For Good

We likewise maintain a commitment to Open Science.
