The document summarizes healthcare services and sexually transmitted disease rates in North Omaha, Nebraska from 1960-2010. It shows that many medical clinics and services have been moved out of predominantly black neighborhoods in North Omaha over time, leaving a "medical desert." Rates of chlamydia and gonorrhea are highest among the black population in Douglas County, despite an increase in STDs in North Omaha zip codes where medical services have been reduced. The document aims to start a discussion on potential solutions.

Editor's Notes
This is a google map of Metro Omaha. The little dots represent clinics, all types of clinics in Omaha
As you zoom into North Omaha you notice one thing that is clear.. There are fewer dots.. Yeah fewer clinics
There is a stark absence of healthcare facilities in North Omaha in comparison to other parts of Omaha
North Omaha used to have plenty of minority doctors and clinics in the 60 and 70s
The population represented in this graph has actually shifted North and Northwest due to the demolition of LoganFontenelle Projects and more recently the Hill Top Projects
