Social Determinants of Health

The Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) are the social, economic, and environmental conditions that influence an individual's health and well-being. These factors - such as access to education, financial stability, safe housing, and supportive social networks - are deeply interconnected and play a significant role in shaping both the quality of life and healthcare outcomes. At Broadlawns Medical Center, we recognize that improving health requires more than just medical care. That’s why we are committed to addressing these five key Social Determinants of Health to help build healthier, more equitable communities.

How We Are Making a Difference, Together

At Broadlawns Medical Center, we believe that building a healthier community is a shared responsibility. By addressing the social factors that impact health - such as financial challenges, access to care, and safe environments - we collaborate with our medical providers, leadership, employees, donors and community members to remove barriers to wellness. Together, we are creating a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
