Health Equity

Health should be a reality for everyone. Here at NCDHD we are striving to reduce gaps in health services in order to provide access to better health for all residents in our communities.

​

Where you live, go to school, and work can greatly affect your ability to live a healthy life. These factors are called social determinants of health (SDOH), and include examples such as housing, race, income, environment, and education.
 

These social determinants of health cannot be addressed by just promoting healthier lifestyles. Action is needed. This is where we come in. We are working on finding these factors that are causing gaps or disparities, and addressing them by providing referrals and resources.
