Experience
Conduct a mini-community health assessment of the area served by the healthcare system for which you work. Describe the services and programs related to the social determinants of health (SDOH) provided by your institution. Identify which ones are being addressed through other agencies.
Reflection
Reflect on the areas of population health within your community that are not being fully addressed by available services. Which SDOH are not being fully addressed by available services through your organization or other community agencies.
Implications
What are the implications for your healthcare system for developing services or programs that might address some of the gaps? What role would you have in developing coalitions or partnerships within your community to achieve these goals?
