TFAH Applauds the Re-introduction of The Social Determinants of Health Act in Congress

If enacted, the bill would codify and expand the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Through grants to public health departments and community organizations, the program would help build multisector collaborations to address non-medical drivers of health. Grants would also be issued to nonprofit organizations and institutions of higher education to conduct research on SDOH best practices, provide technical training, evaluation assistance, and/or disseminate those best practices. Lastly, the program would coordinate, support, and align SDOH activities at CDC.
