Connect2Health
The Connect2Health Mission
Working alongside students to connect underserved patients with vital services while shaping future healthcare professionals who understand the impact of social factors on health.
What We Do
Connect2Health mobilizes student health advocates to link individuals in our community with resources that address their social determinants of health and provides students with an impactful volunteering experience.
Why We Do It
Addressing social determinants of health is essential for enhancing patient-centered care. By understanding and tackling the root causes of poor health, healthcare providers can have a more meaningful impact on their patients' lives. However, many physicians report feeling overwhelmed by the complex social challenges their patients face and often shy away from discussing these issues, focusing instead on medical treatments. This is where we come in!
