# PA Healthcare Facility Dashboard

## 📋 Content Overview

The **PA Healthcare Facility Dashboard** is an interactive spatial analysis tool designed to visualize the distribution and coverage of healthcare resources across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

This dashboard provides stakeholders, researchers, and the general public with a clear view of where critical health services are located, facilitating better understanding of resource accessibility.

### Key Features

* **Interactive Mapping:** Built with Leaflet.js, featuring a high-contrast "Navigation Night" base map for data visibility.
* **Multi-Layer Visualization:** Distinct layers for four major facility types:
* 🏥 Hospitals
* 🧡 Community Mental Health Centers
* ⚕️ Intermediate Care Facilities
* 🏠 Home Health Agencies
* **Smart Search:** Real-time filtering allows users to search facilities by **name** or **street address**.
* **Synced List View:** A dynamic sidebar list that updates based on search results. Clicking a list item automatically flies the map to the facility's location.
* **Responsive Design:** A modern, flexbox-based layout with a "Corvette Blue" & "Cherry Red" color theme, optimized for various screen sizes.
* **Custom Symbology:** Unique, color-coded SVG icons for each facility type to ensure quick visual recognition.
