This is a guest post from Chris Bumgardner, Data Science Program Manager at Children’s Wisconsin. The RStudio Enterprise Community group recently hosted an R in Healthcare meetup highlighting the powerful work that Chris and his team are doing to help ensure Wisconsin’s kids are healthy, happy, and safe.
