Addressing the challenges that many of our members face on a daily basis is an important part of helping our communities achieve their best health. Factors such as where a person lives, their financial stability and education level, their access to food and more are known as “social determinants of health.” Priority Partners and Johns Hopkins Health Plans are committed to helping members and neighbors overcome these barriers through community action.
