Problem: The Cardiology Department Director has asked you to provide some statistical information on the level of Heart Disease for your state from the CDC. He would like for you to pull the past three years of the rate of mortality of Heart Disease for the nation and your home state. He would like for you to prepare graphs of the data and provide any visualization tools that you may find on the CDC website. The Cardiology Department Director plans to use your data to demonstrate to the CFO and Board of Directors that expansion could be used to support the facility's Strategic Plan goals to meet the need for community engagement by expanding Cardiology Services to underserved communities.
Using the information from the CDC Mortality Rate Data that you obtain from the CDC website for the U.S. and your state, prepare a brief written summary of your findings along with visualization tools that the Director of the Cardiology Department could use in his presentation to compare the U.S. rates with your state over the past three years. Be sure to cite materials and any graphics used.
