19 Feb HRSA Report Examines Social Determinants of Health Unique to Rural America
A report published by HRSA’s National Advisory Committee on Rural Health and Human Services found four key social determinants unique to rural areas; geography, income, education, and transportation. As health care continues to shift from volume to value, developing and implementing partnerships to address the social determinants of health – the structural determinants and conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age – becomes even more important, especially in rural communities. For more on these social determinants of rural health and proposed solutions, read the full report.
