Medical professionals enter health care to create health. But here's a surprising fact - medical care only accounts for about 20% of a person's overall health outcomes
The other 80% are the result of many factors, most significantly Social Determinants/Drivers of Health. In this week's episode, we discover what SDOH are and what can be done to address them.
Join us for an enlightening conversation with ChristianaCare's chief bio-psycho-social officer, Erin Booker, and community health worker program coordinator, Chloe Baird. They explain what it takes for an organization to go from being a health system to a system that truly impacts health.
From in-person, one-on-one interactions to major, collaborative initiatives to emerging technologies, learn how knocking down social barriers to health allows for whole-person care and creates a critical layer of care in the community that improves care for the individual.
