Social Determinants of Health and Access to Pediatric Care

Guest: Erin Gravino Jeffords, OTR/L, MS, PAMCO, CBIS - Erin Jeffords, Assistant Professor of Occupational Therapy with Lenoir-Rhyne University, discusses the impact of Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) and how it impacts patient’s access to care. Geographical location, access to reliable transportation, access to reliable forms of communication, and even access to affordable internet can all impact our ability to provide services, our patient’s ability to find services, and/or our patient’s ability to follow through with the recommendations for intervention that we deliver. Join Erin and Michelle for an hour of hope and support for discovering and overcoming SDOH for improved patient outcomes.
