WASHINGTON, DC USA -- HEALTHCARE UPDATE NEWS SERVICE™ -- JULY 6, 2023: Register today for PCC's upcoming webinar Good Intentions Aren't Good Enough: Connecting Patients to Supports to Address Social Determinants of Health.

How can social needs be integrated into clinical care? Lower socioeconomic status is strongly linked to poorer health outcomes, which persist even among those with coverage and access to care. Many parts of the health care system have embarked on "upstream" interventions to connect patients to resources and supports. What's working so far? What needs improvement? What do we know from the research about the challenges practices are facing?

Join us as we tackle these questions and more with our featured speaker, Sanjay Basu, MD, PhD — with more speakers to come!
