Clinical Care Ranking

Measurement Period: 2023
This indicator shows the ranking of the county in clinical care according to the County Health Rankings. The ranking is based on a summary composite score calculated from the following measures: uninsured, primary care physicians, mental health providers, dentists, preventable hospital stays, diabetic monitoring, and mammography screening.

Why is this important?

The quality and accessibility of clinical care heavily impacts the health of a community. Without a sufficient number of providers or adequate insurance coverage, people often do not seek care services and are thus at higher risk of developing preventable illnesses or chronic conditions. People with access to high-quality care are more likely to receive effective treatment for their conditions and enjoy better health.
