Why We Do It
We believe that health connects all populations and their communities, and we strive to protect and improve health outcomes of all people.
How We Do It
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.
