Excellent map, and painful to see how uncovered parts of the state are (my hometown incl)
A possible small issue I see with the dataset, is the inclusion of in-patient psychiatric facilities that are labeled as hospitals. (Western State, Cumberland, Central State, Eastern State). Definitely a difficult choice to include or exclude these but I think excluding them might be better if this map is trying to show how much access localities have to healthcare. These facilities mostly do 'long term care' for the statewide patients.
