Spatial representations of the optimal distribution of hospitals for 32.2-kilometer radius distance. The results of the 32.2-kilometer Maxcover model for the allocation of demand to the existing 129 facilities indicate the 32.2-kilometer optimal model is able to capture all demand in the state. While this sounds impressive, it does not actually represent a substantial improvement over the existing configuration, because most state demand (98.9%) is already within this distance of an existing facility.
