About Z-Atlas
Z-Atlas, America's health index, provides tools and information for understanding the health of the US population.

Z-Atlas presents information about health and health care in the United States and provides links to other information sources as well as a unique collection of atlases developed by the National Minority Quality Forum, which is using its comprehensive database to map the health status of Americans.

Organized by disease, the atlases provide users with unparalleled access to zip-code-based maps and information on incidence, prevalence, and costs. Profiling each disease, the atlases allow users to monitor health status by state, by county, by metropolitan statistical area, or by legislative district.

The following atlases are currently online:

•Chronic Kidney Disease Atlas
•Diabetes Atlas
•Cardiovascular Disease Atlas
•HIV/AIDS Atlas
•Peripheral Arterial Disease Atlas
•Clinical Trial Atlas
