BOSTON, Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Community Catalyst, the nation's leading health advocacy organization, this morning launched its Community Health Market Watch platform giving unparalleled insight into healthcare market trends in every state in the country. The platform analyzes publicly available data and the narratives of community members to identify the risk of closures of healthcare facilities in states and communities and arming organizations with the advanced information needed to protect access to healthcare.

"The Community Health Market Watch platform shows what is possible when cutting-edge technology is guided by the people who know their communities best," said Linda Goler Blount, President and CEO of Community Catalyst. "State and community organizations have always been the first to deal with the crisis that occurs when a hospital unit quietly closes, a maternity ward disappears, or trusted clinician is suddenly gone. Their lived experience is the intelligence that makes this platform work. We are working together so communities see the warning signs early and have their voices heard before the decision are made – and harm occurs."
With the Community Health Market Watch platform, organizations can find detailed information about the evolving state of healthcare facilities in their state or county, including healthcare facilities that are up for sale, ones that may be facing critical threats to their survival and county maps providing insights into where healthcare deserts are present or looming. The platform, an innovative partnership with PosterChild.ai, also identifies pertinent news and grant opportunities, giving organizations tools to ensure they stay relevant and sustainable.
