National Association of Community Health Centers works with a network of state health center and primary care organizations to serve health centers in a variety of ways: 1) provide research-based advocacy for health centers and their clients; 2) educate the public about the mission and value of health centers; 3) train and provide technical assistance to health center staff and boards; and 4) develop alliances with private partners and key stakeholders to foster the delivery of primary health care services to communities in need.

This webinar will provide tips and strategies for organizations on how to build capacity to address the social determinants of health by highlighting examples from the field on integrating clinical care with community services. 

Interested in collecting standardized data on the social determinants of health using PRAPARE but not sure how to incorporate it into your organization’s workflow?  This webinar walked through different strategies and models to collect PRAPARE data, ranging from utilization of clinical staff or non-clinical staff to self-assessment methods to integration with other teams or programs.
