Good morning!

Whether you’re on deadline and looking for data or creating the foundation for a big reporting project, you should know about the Congressional District Health Dashboard. Designed by researchers in the department of population health at NYU Langone Health in collaboration with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the dashboard reveals district-specific information on the health and well-being of the people who live there.

It's a new and powerful health equity reporting tool, and you’ll learn how to use it during an AHCJ webinar at 1 p.m. EST Friday, hosted by AHCJ’s health equity core topic leader Margarita Birnbaum and NYU Program Director Samantha Breslin.

Registration isn’t required for this virtual training opportunity. We hope you'll join us.
