The following NEW data have been ADDED to the MEGIS internet Data Catalog:

CORRECTIONAL_FACILITIES includes Federal and State prisons, local jails, and juvenile detention facilities, as well as law enforcement temporary holding facilities.

NURSING_HOMES traditionally offers 24-hour (skilled) nursing to the elderly or to disabled patients having a variety of medical conditions who require personal care services above that of an assisted living but do not require hospitalization.

PUBLIC_HEALTH department may be locally governed, part of a region or district, be an office or an administrative unit of the state health department, or a hybrid of these.
