Social Determinants of Health
This assignment is a 23 page summary intended to help leadership in a local health center understand how social determinants of health have contributed to a growing public health crisis in their community.
Base your summary on the following scenario:
You have been asked to orient the new supervisor of a local health center to the changing needs of a typical American community in which approximately 50 long-term patients can no longer afford necessary medical care. You may choose a name and relevant characteristics of the community based on the public health concerns and social determinants of health you have studied thus far.
