Redefining Health National Leadership Communities Ebeid Neighborhood Promise Social Determinants of Health A Community of Well-Being, for All At ProMedica, we’re deeply committed to providing integrated care for individuals and communities. That means going beyond expectations for clinical excellence and patient care. As an anchor institution, we have a responsibility to focus on the factors outside our walls that affect health and well-being. For more than 10 years, ProMedica has pioneered this effort and has become an industry leader in thought, innovation and action in addressing the social determinants of health (SDOH). We see an unprecedented opportunity to improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. Through the ProMedica National Social Determinants of Health Institute, we’re driving local and nationwide change in how healthcare is delivered. Understanding the Social Determinants of Health When most people think of healthcare, they tend to think of clinical or medical care, such as going to the hospital or doctor’s office. But medical care only accounts for 20 percent of a person’s health and well-being. The other 80 percent is affected by environmental, behavioral, social and economic factors. The social determinants of health are conditions in the environments in which we are born, live, learn, work, play, worship and age. They affect a wide range of health issues, risks and outcomes. They also impact a person’s quality of life. 5 Numbers That Could Reform Health Care Watch ProMedica President and CEO Randy Oostra, DM, FACHE, explain SDOH on the TEDx Stage. Our Approach to Building Healthier Communities At the ProMedica National Social Determinants of Health Institute, our mission is to create healthier people and communities. To do this, we establish local, regional and national opportunities to integrate social determinant factors with clinical care. This provides a more holistic approach to health and well-being. We’re grounded by our strong community ties with healthcare providers, payors, nonprofits, corporations, civic leaders and the people we serve. Because of this, we research, test, shape and invest in innovative solutions to improve the health of everyone in our region.

We take a thorough look at what makes individuals healthy, including their lifestyle, food security, financial stability and access to employment training. We also help create safe neighborhoods, inviting public spaces and thriving communities. Learn More LEADING NATIONAL CHANGE ProMedica began treating hunger as a health issue in 2009.
