Friends, if you knew you and your church could do things that facilitate the health, welfare, and longevity of the people you know, would you be interested in discovering more?
Although nearly three-fourths of health outcomes are determined by social determinants, few clinicians can ably identify those patients facing challenges related to social and environmental conditions or other experiences that directly impact health and health status
According to a December 2016 ASPE report to Congress on Social Risk Factors and Performance Under Medicare's Value-Based Purchasing Programs, there is growing evidence that social risk factors have a strong impact on the health and welfare of our families, friends, and neighbors.
Key Social Factors:
1. Income,
2. Education,
3. Race and Ethnicity,
4. Employment,
5. Community Resources, and
6. Personal Motivation and Social Support
If we Christians do everything we can to support people in developing one or more of these 6 things we are showing LOVE to them.
5 and 6 are especially important to churches. Fellowship, prayer, meals together, worship, encourage, etc.
Our books and materials all foster these six items. If you want to grow, buy a few! (They are eBooks that you can download as PDF format and print if you wish.
