Hello everyone,

Our next Geospatial/GIS meetup will be on *Tuesday, November 7 from
12:00-12:50 pm*.

The meetup will be held in Rivera Library, Room 140 and on Zoom.
(To find Rivera 140: turn right after entering Rivera Library. Keep walking
until you pass the elevators. Room 140 is on the corner of the hallway
you’ll see to your left.)

Via Zoom, Adrienne Damicis with the Public Health Alliance of Southern
California will present on *The Healthy Places Index: Mapping to Advance
Health Equity*.

The *Healthy Places Index* <https://www.healthyplacesindex.org/> (HPI) is a
powerful and easy-to-use data and policy platform created to advance health
equity through open and accessible data at the neighborhood-level. Adrienne
will show a live demo of the HPI map platform, discuss some of the ways
that communities and policymakers have utilized the platform to transform
HPI data into action, and highlight some future enhancements HPI users can
expect to see. Adrienne will also share some insights into the
behind-the-scenes work that goes into creating and maintaining the HPI map
platform, specifically in her role as the Geospatial Data Lead.

Adrienne Damicis is the Geospatial Data Lead at the Public Health Alliance
of Southern California, where she works to enhance and expand the Healthy
Places Index (HPI) map platform. She combines her background in
biostatistics and epidemiology with her interests in GIS and health
geography to advance Alliance projects in geospatial analysis and data
visualization. Adrienne strives to create impactful and equity-centered
data tools and visualizations that can act as integral resources for health
and racial justice work.
