VHEI works to address and eliminate disparities in healthcare for marginalized communities through targeted outreach, education programs, and direct medical services. Our efforts focus on addressing the root causes of health disparities, empowering BIPOC Vermonters to take charge of their health.
What Are The Social Determinants of Health?
Social Determinants of Health are the social, economic, and environmental factors that impact health and contribute to health disparities. For Black Americans, several SDOHs disproportionately affect health outcomes. These include economic status, education access, healthcare access, neighborhood and built environment, and social and community contexts.
