The Root Cause Coalition 2017: Second Annual National Summit on the Social Determinants of Health
The Root Cause Coalition's 2nd Annual National Summit on the Social Determinants of Health will be held in Louisville, Kentucky on October 9-10, 2017.
Factors such as food insecurity, lack of safe and affordable housing, quality education, transportation, and isolation have a significant impact on individual health and the collective health of our nation. The cost to healthcare, businesses, and communities is in the billions. The human toll is incalculable.
The robust two-day agenda will build upon the discussions at our Inaugural Summit by bringing together representatives from healthcare, the non-profit sector, the faith community, researchers, clinicians, government leaders, and businesses to share best practices, offer community connections and resources, and engage in the crucial discussion of how to best address the social determinants of health.
