We bring information to all people in all places where they live, work, and play
We study evidence-based sources to establish facts and reach conclusions
We analyze facts and statistics and offer community solutions
Everything we do is aligned with the conceptual framework developed by the Department and Health and Human Resources (HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) known as the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH). SDOH are the conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks. SDOHs respond to changing priorities in communities and public health.
