Background:
The Hennepin County Social Determinants of Health’s (HCSDOH) planning initiative will develop a comprehensive action plan to address the social determinants of health within the Black/African American communities in Hennepin County. This planning grant will build upon community engagement conducted in 2022 to identify community-wide approaches that will reduce chronic disease disparities and improve population health by focusing on community-clinical linkages and social connectedness. HCSDOH will center its efforts within North Minneapolis, Brooklyn Park, and Brooklyn Center. The Leadership Team will be comprised of multisectoral partners including healthcare systems, Federally Qualified Health Centers, community-based organizations, and community members.
This action supports the county’s disparity reduction efforts in the health domain by addressing the social determinants of health within the Black/African American communities in Hennepin County.
