About Us
East Long Ave addresses the nationally recognized SDOH with individuals in the community.
The Social Determinants of Health are non-medical factors that influence health outcomes.
By addressing these appropriately, the health and mental health of the individuals we service can improve significantly by empowering them to “LIVE“ rather than exist.
What Are Social Determinants of Health?
Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the nonmedical factors that influence health outcomes. They are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. These forces and systems include economic policies and systems, development agendas, social norms, social policies, racism, climate change, and political systems. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has adopted this SDOH definition from the World Health Organization.
The SDOH addressed by East Long Ave includes Clothing, Employment, Financial Strain, Food Insecurity, Housing Instability/ Homelessness, Transportation, and Utilities.
