As per Sam's ( @sschuff ) recommendation, an excellent site to go on is:
https://phpartners.org/ph_public/health_stats

where you will find a good number of the above listed sites and more pertaining to public health data. Thanks Sam!

There is also a brand new data set search engine from Google:

Thanks Abdul! That google dataset search will come in handy for people looking to enhance their data visual with other supporting data for the Tableau challenges. It's like a 'one and done' search result. Thank you very much for sharing.

Just want to make a plug for the Chicago Health Atlas. They've spent the last 3 years making their site work well, and might even have their dataset APIs ready. https://www.chicagohealthatlas.org/

Came across this site today. It is operated by Socrata, a company that operates 100+ open data sites for governments, etc. Could be great to tap into. It shows all of the different locations for which they have data. https://www.opendatanetwork.com/
