We each enter incarnational healthcare ministry through a calling to serve our neighbors, especially those who struggle. Our practices and our team members are missional, engaged and resilient on the good end and overly-expectant and prone to disillusionment on the struggling end. The massive amount of need around us and the complexity of modern medical practice management are more than enough in themselves. Couple these with our missional needs and ever-growing volume, and it is easy to see how we might struggle to have a culture that meets our ideals. and culture is not enough, we want organizational health.

Safety net clinics have firsthand knowledge of the social determinants affecting their communities and are actively seeking strategies to foster health equity but often lack the staff and internal capacity to address them. This session will focus on sustainable and practical strategies for clinics wanting to expand their ability to address social determinants of health. This session will also highlight why Christian leadership is essential in this space and the ways in which a social determinants of health centered approach to patient care aligns with Biblical examples of healing. Participants will also receive an overview of a free tool, the Health Equity Learning Hub, designed specifically for safety net clinics to support ongoing work around health equity.
