We recently had the pleasure of hosting a webinar with the American Hospital Association on "Screen, Refer, Resolve: A Toolkit for Addressing Patients’ SDoH Needs". The webinar featured an insightful discussion with Kathy Mason, Community Health Worker Coordinator at Freeman Health System, Alesia O'Daniel, Patient Outreach Manager at Northwestern Medicine, and Gillian Feldmeth, Director of Research and Evaluation Operations at Unite Us. Here are some of our key takeaways: 👤 Providing whole-person care means understanding that a patient is more than their diagnosis, and it's important to provide the right resources at the right time based on where they are in their care journey. 🧠 Community health workers and social workers are incredibly valuable care team members with a unique ability to think outside the box to help meet patients' social care needs. 📈 Patient stories matter. Sharing the wins (and even the challenges faced along the way) can speak volumes when highlighting impact and boosting morale among care teams. If you attended the webinar, what else would you add to this list? (And don't worry, in case you missed it: the recording is now available on-demand: https://lnkd.in/gKkNSN_g) #SDoH #Health #Community #Healthcare #SocialCare #Webinar
