Interactive map of hospital “territory” and who owns it in Virginia.

Hey everyone! I recently saw an article
about a hospital merger in southwest Virginia (Ballad Health) and how
it increased ER wait times, so I was curious to see who owns the
hospitals in Virginia.
I found every hospital from OpenStreetMap and computed a voronoi
diagram of the points to get “territory” regions (the area that is
closest to any given hospital). Then I color coded the regions by
hospital operator. E.g. the light blue-green in the southwest corner of
VA is Ballad Health.
