These disparities and others are evident in the ways different people and groups experience the social determinants of health (SDOH)\, which are the conditions in which people are born\, grow\, live\, work\, and age. Factors include socioeconomic status\, access to health care\, education\, neighborhood and physical environment\, employment\, and social support networks. As such\, community-based organizations play a critical role in strengthening the health and well-being of communities by addressing the social needs of individuals and families. \nQuality care and access for special populations and communities is essential yet remains a challenge for many today. During this webinar\, Mary Garr will share and define who are special populations\, the challenges of health access for these populations\, and what factors contribute to systems that are meant to ensure quality care for all.   \nAbout the Social Current Health Equity Series\nEveryone needs the building blocks for health and well-being in order to thrive\, reach their full potential\, and meaningfully contribute to society. But as the ongoing COVID-19 crisis has demonstrated\, people of color and many others are disproportionately affected by sickness and death due to reduced access to testing\, higher chronic disease burden\, and historical racial bias within health care institutions. Social Current and its network of partners are committed to health equity as a key strategy to increase the safety and well-being of individuals\, families\, and communities most impacted by inequality and racism. \n\nSession 1: Screening for Social Need and the Social Determinants of Health\nSession 2: ACEs Interface\nSession 3: Health Access for Special Populations\n\nTakeaways\n\nWhat are factors that affect access and care for special populations?\nIdentifying special populations with shared language.\nEquitable Solutions to serving special populations.\n\nWho Should Participate\n\nExecutives\nProgram directors\nStaff in population health/health equity\nQuality managers\nPolicy leaders\nCommunity leaders\n\n  \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n Presenter\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Mary Garr\n \n President & CEO\nFamily Services \n \n Biography\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Mary Garr\n President & CEO\nFamily Services \n \n Mary Garr is the president and CEO of Family Service\, a nonprofit in San Antonio that provides a broad array of services to empower individuals\, transform families\, and strengthen the health of communities by addressing the social determinants of health that directly impact peoples’ lives based on where they live\, learn\, work\, play\, and age. \nGarr is an experienced leader with three decades of diverse roles in several industries\, including health care\, city management\, nonprofits\, and the military\, as a CEO and COO.
