Community Health Profiles Act

This bill directs the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to create, within one year, a pilot program giving competitive grants to up to 25 state or local health departments, cities, or counties. The grants would pay to build or expand public websites showing health data by neighborhood, ZIP code, or census tract, covering topics such as housing, maternal and child health, access to care, and health outcomes. Grant recipients would send de-identified, combined data to a new National Neighborhood Health Data Repository that the public could search and download. An independent expert panel would have to certify the method used to combine data before it takes effect, and the pilot program would end four years after it starts.
