Making an Impact in Austin

Social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. They include factors like income, education, physical environment and access to care. Austin’s Eastern Crescent is the geographical focus of most of our SDoH work as it is the area with the most disparities related to housing, transportation access, access to nutritious foods and COVID-19.
