'Make this as local as possible': Louisville health officials launch health equity dashboard

It includes demographics and data for several health outcomes, such as heart disease and cancer.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A new dashboard aims to provide a clearer picture of health in Louisville.

The Department of Health and Wellness launched the new dashboard.

It includes demographics and data for several health outcomes, such as heart disease and cancer.

There is even a section on homicides and how they impact different communities in Louisville.

"So how will things like racism and classism, maybe, impact the patterns that we're seeing in our community," Executive Director Angela Graham said. "And again, we try to bring in as many examples or discussions with things that have happened in Louisville as we can to make this as local as possible."
