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

Social Determinants are more than a buzz word for policy makers and politicians. Dr. Savoy describes what social determinants of health are, strategies to use in your practice to address them and resources to access to make a difference in the lives of your patients.

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.
