Bring Data to Your Team with a Hub
Hubs are data-sharing, assessment, and mapping websites for organizations.
CARES Hubs provide helpful, up-to-date, and reliable access to data that support decision-making. Organizations like healthcare systems, government agencies, and nonprofits use Hubs to assist staff with data collection, grant management, project management, assessments, planning, prioritization, and evaluation.
