RHPC_Area was developed to provide a spatial representation of RHPC program areas and designations
RHPC_Area contains Maine Office of Rural Health and Primary Care (RHPC) program areas and designations for the state of Maine at 1:24000 scale. The dataset contains Primary Care Analysis Areas (PCAA), Dental Care Analysis Areas (DCAA), and Mental Health Analysis Areas (MHAA). The POLYGONS have attributes designating Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSA) for the PCAA, DCAA, and MHAA. The POLYGONS also have attributes designating the Medically Underserved Areas and Medically Underserved Populations (mua_mup). The coverage was developed using METWP24 as a base and combining data provided by RHPC
