The ADVANCE Data Warehouse is the nation’s most comprehensive database for the study of health care and outcomes among over 13 million rural and medically underserved patients nationwide. ADVANCE maintains a network of community health centers in order to support and facilitate inclusion of populations that can sometimes be hard to reach (e.g., rural populations). ADVANCE adds value to health outcomes research by curating data sets for researchers.
