Elkhart County has created a new Child Dashboard to monitor and help the wellbeing of children throughout the county.

The online data center will be used to help determine the health of the community and trends in the child wellbeing, all to help organization make informed decisions to improve the health of kids and families in Elkhart County.

The dashboard is the first of its kind in Indiana and has more than 45 different data points showing health and safety trends.

Data will be updated quarterly.

Dozens of organizations are contributing to the dashboard’s efforts, either by sharing data or by taking part in the collective process.
