Texas Health Institute

72% of adults in Texas report having been to a doctor for a routine checkup in the past year. Regular check-ups help prevent serious health problems through screenings, support effective management of chronic conditions, and detect diseases early, when they are most treatable. They are also one of the most effective ways to reduce health care costs.

This is one of 80+ indicators available on Texas Health Insights, a statewide data platform that brings together county-level data on health, healthcare, and the conditions shaping outcomes across Texas.

Across Texas, communities, health systems, policymakers, and local leaders are navigating a rapidly changing healthcare landscape while working to strengthen health in their regions and across the state. Access to timely, credible, and local data has never been more important!

Texas Health Insights is a new statewide data platform that brings together county-level data on health, healthcare, workforce, and community conditions across Texas. With more than 80 indicators across five domains, users can explore counties, compare regions, and download one-page county snapshots. While the platform makes trusted data more accessible, we recognize that data alone is not enough. If you are working on rural health, primary care, oral health, workforce, maternal health, or related efforts, please reach out to us about how this data can support your work.

Texas Health Insights was developed by Texas Health Institute with support from CareQuest Institute for Oral Health, Commonwealth Fund, Center for Community Health at Cook Children's, and Driscoll Health System.
