How COVID-19 Impacts Social Determinants of Health

The COVID-19 pandemic has shone a spotlight on social determinants of health and the nation is seeing just how deep health disparities run. There are clear delineations between different social groups and how they are faring in the new normal that COVID-19 has created. Issues about access to care and other health resources, have specifically highlighted disparities for individuals who are homeless or housing insecure, who have limited food security, and who live in rural regions. This webinar will provide a unique perspective on the impact of COVID-19 from the leaders active in underserved communities and discuss socio-economic issues, unconscious bias, health disparities and medical care facilities affecting the members of these communities.

Removing Barriers to Health: Advancing Social Health Nationwide

Imagine having to choose between putting food on the table or paying an unexpected medical expense. 21% of Americans report they’ve prioritized paying for food or rent over seeing a doctor or paying for medication in the past year. How can healthcare meet people’s basic human needs and advance health equity? Kaiser Permanente’s Chief Health Officer Dr. Bechara Choucair, his team and strategic partners strive to create innovative solutions to this pressing, impossible predicament. By elevating social health to the same level as physical and mental health, Kaiser Permanente believes that health systems can improve their capacity to ensure these gaps in social health and care are closed, shifting the paradigm of health care forever and ensuring quality, affordable health care for all.
