Congrats to our colleagues at @Ascension_MI on ONE MILLION #SDoH screenings! Their screening tool asks patients/families questions about loneliness, violence, food insecurity, housing, education & financial issues -- all of which can influence patient health. #healthequity

👏This is why MSHIELD works in partnership with existing community hubs, who have robust networks of resources in patients' home communities. @CHRTumich

@stephanieloo19 #ARM22
Important work especially in the context of some 🔥 points about humility and long-term community investment from the Structural Racism panel earlier. Efforts like @michiganshield to link patients with resources in their communities are vital while we work to undo a broken system
