gis for human health

spatial data that makes the invisible visible.

The data that health and human services organizations collect is inherently geographic — patients, clients, facilities, service areas, resource gaps. Most of that data never gets looked at spatially. When it does, the picture changes.

whereabouts works with health systems, public health departments, community health organizations, and human services agencies to build the spatial infrastructure that makes their data actually useful. That means databases that hold what they need to hold, applications that field staff can actually use, and analysis that reveals what rows and columns can't.


what we help human health organizations do:

  • Map service coverage against population need to identify gaps and duplication

  • Build field data collection tools for community health workers

  • Deploy and administer ArcGIS Enterprise environments in complex healthcare settings

  • Design spatial databases that integrate with EMS, CAD, and electronic health record systems

  • Develop real-time location services for asset and staff tracking across large facilities

  • Visualize health equity data for grant reporting and community communication


who we work with:

Regional health systems. Private medical practices. Local hospitals. Surgery centers. Public health departments. Community health centers. Reproductive health organizations. Nonprofit social services organizations. Emergency management agencies. Mental health and substance use programs.
