Contribute to Big Changes: Social Determinants of Health

May 23rd, 2024
May 23rd, 2024

A Conversation with HealthStream and AHIMA

Addressing social determinants of health and educating healthcare staff makes direct progress toward health equity, a world where every person has the opportunity to attain their highest level of health and care. Social determinants of health have a lasting impact on society, creating inequities in access to housing, education, wealth, and employment. All of this puts people at higher risk of poor health.

The CDC released four public health actions that can positively affect social determinants of health: convene, integrate, influence, and contribute to big changes. In this special 11-minute conversation, we discuss how taking bold steps towards addressing social determinants of health can make long-lasting change. To do so, organizations must be honest about SDoH concerns and directly address challenges with the power of education. But, where do we start?
