Island County Commissioner Janet St. Clair (D-Camano Island) posted this to his Facebook page on .
I’m often asked, “Why is broadband and internet connectivity so important to you?” My answer is economic opportunity, education, and health equity. But it was access to healthcare that brought me to the table. The FCC has released information on exactly this issue and the importance of internet access.

Our Island County Broadband Action Team has made progress in recent years and this morning, I spent a couple of hours working with our technical assistance team to make sure Island County takes advantage of federal funds for our residents coming through the Washington State Internet for All program. Equity and access are core business for local government.
The Mapping Broadband Health in America platform allows users to visualize, overlay and analyze broadband and health data at the national, state and county levels.
