ForwardBuilding Community Strategies to Address Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)

Have you seen the tools and resources in the EveryONE Project? How about using the AAFP’s Navigator we platform to help in identifying social determinants of health in your patient population? AAFP Board member Margot Savoy, MD will dive into these resources and others to illustrate the benefits of better understanding SHOH for your practice.
