Social determinants of health (SDOH) – non-clinical factors, such as housing, transportation etc. that influence health– have been featured increasingly in recent years in regulations, legislation, waivers, and programs at all levels of government. What will the election mean for these efforts? As part of our Building Healthy Neighborhoods project, Brookings will hold a panel discussion and Town Hall Q&A to assess how the results of the 2020 election might impact efforts to advance social determinants of health (SDOH). The Town Hall will bring together three veteran experts on SDOH approaches to give their views and to respond to questions. Details on the panelists are below: Kavita Patel served as the director of policy for the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement in the White House during the Obama Administration. Dr. Patel is currently a Nonresident Fellow at the Brookings Institution and previously was the managing director of clinical transformation at the Center for Health Policy at Brookings. Len Nichols is a non-resident Fellow of the Health Policy Center of the Urban Institute. Dr. Nichols heads the Urban Institute’s CAPGI project, which explores community-wide techniques to encourage investment in SDOH. He has more than two decades of experience in advising government and the private sector on health policy. Melissa Quick is the Co-Chair of Aligning for Health, a membership organization committed to reducing barriers to SDOH. She is Vice-President at Sirona Strategies, a health care consulting firm, and previously served in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Brookings Senior Fellow Stuart Butler will moderate the Town Hall.
