ABSTRACT
The PA Community Mental Health Centers was developed to show the geospatial locations of community mental health centers in Pennsylvania. It can be used in various emergency and health related maps. A community mental health center is a facility that provides prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation mental health services, sometimes organized as a practical alternative to the largely custodial care given in mental hospitals.. When possible, efforts were made to confirm the rooftop location of each community mental health center. The accuracy of geocoding is available in Geocoding Certainty attribute field (Geocoding Certainty: Rooftop="00", Street="01", Zip Centroid="04", Not geocoded="99"). Latitude and longitude are recorded in the WGS 1984 coordinate system in decimal degrees.
