Medicaid Accepted Mental Health Clinics in the City of Chicago
Intent
Medicaid-accepted mental health clinics are critical to providing more people with the opportunity to get the care they need. Unfortunately, it is not easy to find the appropriate clinics for Medicaid holders. By using this portable booklet, Medicaid patients can find affordable and needed specialty care, and mental health counselors can guide them.
The Design
This visualization shows the information on how many Medicaid-accepted clinics are located in which area of the city of Chicago and what specific specialty care they offer. All the mental health care programs provided by clinics are categorized into seven specialty types, and the total number of those are shown per community, respectively.
Iteration
The chart and guide quotes were continuously developed, taking into consideration the diverse range of chart literacy levels within our targeted groups.
