Abstract：
:We address the problem of designing new networks for the delivery of public health care services in the United States. The paper is based on a case study design conducted with the Fulton County Health Department (Atlanta, GA). The research contribution this paper makes is twofold. First, it presents a planning methodology to deliver health care services through a mix of fixed health centers, satellite facilities, and mobile facilities. Second, it gives insights on how to use geographic information systems to design new health care service networks.
