Download HRSA OPO Service Area Boundaries

Downloads the publicly available HRSA GIS layer containing detailed Organ Procurement Organization service area boundaries and returns it as an sf object.

Usage

get_hrsa_opo_service_areas(quiet = TRUE)

Arguments

quiet: Logical; if TRUE, suppresses messages and warnings emitted during download. Default is TRUE.

Value

An sf object with polygon geometries representing detailed OPO service area boundaries, along with HRSA-provided attributes. Human-readable variable labels are attached.

Details

The data are served directly from the HRSA ArcGIS REST MapServer and include all attributes provided by HRSA at the time of download.

This function queries the HRSA ArcGIS REST MapServer layer:

https://gisportal.hrsa.gov/server/rest/services/Organs/OrganProcurementAndTransplantation_FS/MapServer/3

using a where = 1 = 1 filter to retrieve all available features. No caching is performed.

Layer 3 is the detailed polygon layer for Organ Procurement Organization service areas. It is distinct from Layer 2, which is the generalized county-based service-area layer.

Note

The HRSA ArcGIS GeoJSON endpoint may not provide unique feature IDs. When quiet = TRUE, GDAL warnings related to feature IDs are suppressed.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
opo_areas <- get_hrsa_opo_service_areas()

# Inspect variable labels
labelled::var_label(opo_areas)

# Plot OPO service areas
plot(opo_areas["OPO_PROVIDER_NM"])
}
