Speaking Public Health: Social Determinants of Health

Social Determinants of Health are the conditions in the places where people live, learn, work, and play that impact health and well-being. They affect people’s health and well-being in a wide variety of ways, and they’re key drivers of health inequities -- the unfair differences in health status or access to health resources between different groups of people.

Speaking Public Health: Collective Impact

Collective Impact is a structured approach to bringing people together to coordinate and act on complex issues, to bring about positive social change.

In other words, collective impact work means that instead of a lot of people and organizations acting on their own to try to solve problems, all those people and organizations get together and act as one unit to accomplish their goals.
