Title:

DOH Birth Centers 202308

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form:vector digital data

Description:

Abstract:

The PA Birth Centers layer was developed to show the geospatial locations of birth facilities in Pennsylvania.  It can be used in various emergency and health related maps.  A birth center is a medical facility, specializing in childbirth, that is less restrictive and more homelike than a hospital.  When possible, efforts were made to confirm the rooftop location of each birth facility. The accuracy of geocoding is available in Geocoding Certainty attribute field (Geocoding Certainty: Rooftop="00", Street="01", Zip Centroid="04", Not geocoded="99"). Latitude and longitude are recorded in the WGS 1984 coordinate system in decimal degrees.  For questions about this dataset, please contact the Pennsylvania Department of Health Division of Health Informatics at RA-DHICONTACTUS@pa.gov or 717-782-2448.

Purpose:

The PA_Birth_Centers layer was develeoped to show the geospatial location of birth centers in Pennsylvania. It can be used in various emergency and health related maps.
