Care Desert Intelligence
Care Deserts are areas where healthcare resources and facilities are insufficient to meet the needs of the population.
Our Care Desert analyses use geospatial intelligence to identify gaps in access, highlight communities at risk,
and support more informed planning.
Access to care is a geographic problem
When healthcare resources are unevenly distributed, people may face longer travel times, fewer choices, delayed care, higher costs, and worse outcomes. These gaps are often difficult to see without combining facility locations, population data, geography, and local context.
Our Care Desert initiative helps organizations understand where access gaps exist across multiple care categories, including pharmacies, women’s health, kidney care, and mental health.
Pharmacy Care Deserts
Identify communities that lack basic access to brick-and-mortar pharmacies — a significant barrier to care, medication access, and routine healthcare support.

Women’s Health Care Deserts
Analyze gaps in access to women’s health resources, including services tied to gynecological care, maternal care, family planning, and comprehensive reproductive health support.
