While governments are making more and more data available every day, it’s not always easy to find the information you need. WBEZ’s Chris Gansen and Melissa Buenger have noticed significant updates concerning the health data in Illinois. Recently, a website was built to help users find what services are available near them. It’s called HealthNear.Me, and it recently won the Illinois Public Health Datapalooza App Challenge. Chris and Melissa join us in studio to explain their app. Photo Credit: Flickr/TSI HealthCare
