[R] Help with simple Map of US states to predefined regions

[Bill Poling]

Hi I have this df with three columns ProviderState, ProviderStateCode, ProviderRegion

I have reviewed fiftystater pkg and map pkg but not sure how to simply take these three columns and plot a simple 5 color map based on the Region the state is in?

Do I need all the longitude and latitude data or can this be done with what I have?

Thank you for any suggestions.
