Social Determinants of Health
Good health depends on more than medical care. Everyday life—housing, income, transportation, and support—shapes how we live and how we heal.
At Broadlawns Medical Center, we know that health is connected to real-life experiences. When someone struggles to find safe housing, steady work, or reliable childcare, their well-being is impacted. That's why we focus on more than prescriptions and procedures—we work to understand the whole picture.
Here are some areas that play a big role in shaping a person’s health:
- Safe, stable places to live
- Steady employment and reliable income
- Education and learning opportunities
- Access to healthy food and transportation
- Support from family, friends, or local groups
How Broadlawns is Responding
We’re committed to removing obstacles that stand in the way of better health. Our care teams and community partners work together to connect patients with helpful resources and practical support—inside and outside the clinic.
This might look like:
- Helping patients get connected to affordable housing or food assistance
- Offering transportation help to get to and from appointments
- Providing financial guidance or referrals to job training programs
- Partnering with local organizations that support families and individuals
