Missouri Community College Service Areas

This layer displays the service areas for the various community colleges in the state of Missouri. Unlike in some states, Missouri’s community colleges are not a “system” with a centralized administration under one governing body. Instead, they are 12 separate and independent local colleges, with a history of working together to meet both state and local needs. As local entities, each college’s academic and workforce training programs mirror the local economy by design. Their service regions cover the entire state, allowing them to serve every Missourian and every Missouri business.

COVID-19 Facility Hospitalizations

This layer displays the number of COVID patients as a percent of overall patients admitted to a particular hospital. Hospitals are reporting admission information to the Department of Health and Human Services where it is compiled and released weekly. The dataset releases information by the sum total of an indicator, the daily mean of an indicator, and the number of days reported in that week. The percent of covid admissions was calculated by:

Value = ([SUM Adult Inpatient Covid Admissions]/[SUM Total Adult Inpatient Admissions]) * 100

Symbols in this layer are also sized based on the overall bed capacity of a hospital.

Only hospitals reporting COVID-19 Case data are included on this map.
