This network graph visualizes relationships between patients, using nodes to represent individuals and links to show connections such as shared race or departmental referrals. The graph is rendered as an SVG within a React framework, using D3 v6's `forceSimulation` API to calculate node positions and `forceLink`, `forceManyBody`, `forceCollide`, and `forceCenter` to manage the physics. Users can drag nodes to explore the network, and the visualization updates dynamically through the `simulation.on('tick')` event.
