Weaving Together Prevention, Health Care Delivery, and Community Change

GIH Social Determinants of Health Audioconference Series

When:

Monday, August 29, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern/1:00 p.m. Central/12:00 p.m. Mountain/11:00 a.m. Pacific

Who:

• Larry Cohen, Prevention Institute
• Jane Stafford, Community Clinics Initiative, A Joint Project of Tides and The California Endowment

What:

When it is done well, integrating community prevention into health care delivery reduces the demand for services; improves health, safety, and equity outcomes; and provides clinical providers with the resources and strategies to change the social circumstances that shape the health of their patients. Participants joined this audioconference to learn about a new model—the community-centered health home—in which community health centers are engaged as active change agents, even as they deliver high-quality medical services. They also discussed emerging opportunities to advance these efforts.
