Community Health (Social Determinants of Health)

When we talk about Community Health, what we are really talking about are the social determinants of health (SDOH). The SDOH are the places where people live, learn, work, and play and how they affect a person’s health. They include access to healthcare, education, jobs, safe neighborhoods, and a connection to their community.

HealthyBr Board Chair Coletta Barrett talks about  the Social Determinants of Health.
