Community Support

HSCSN works together with our community partners to address the Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) that affect our population. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines social determinants of health as “the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. The social determinants of health are the most significant drivers of differences in health outcomes (i.e., health disparities) and health inequities in the District of Columbia. Below is a list of resources, tools, and community partners to help our enrollees achieve and maintain good health.
