Addressing Social Determinants of Health
Our partnerships strategically target the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) that most impact foster youth outcomes. By addressing these root causes, we create lasting change that goes beyond individual services.
What are Social Determinants of Health?
Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks.
By partnering with Foster Greatness, your organization directly invests in improving these fundamental life conditions, creating a foundation for lasting health, success, and quality of life for young adults impacted by the foster system.
