Our data stories turn public government records into maps and plain-language analysis of the U.S. health-care workforce. Each one answers a question people search for: where the doctor shortages are, which counties have no psychiatrist, how many doctors are near retirement, which specialties have the most women, where nurse practitioners outnumber physicians, who offers telehealth, how GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic spread across states, and how much drug and device companies pay doctors in each state. Every story uses the same numbers as our interactive county maps and links to the pages behind them, so you can check any figure, drill down to your own state or county, and download the data.
