In honor of 2019 National Health Center Week, Salud Para La Gente (Salud) presents our latest video: “Moving Healthcare Upstream.” This year’s National Health Center Week celebration — Rooted in Communities: A local collection of Health Center Stories — takes place from August 4–10, 2019.
Salud aims to increase awareness of the social determinants of health which affect all community members. All the factors in our lives affect our health are sometimes called the social determinants of health. Social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age that shape health.
