Michael McGinnis

Michael McGinnis is a public health researcher and medical doctor known for co-developing the "social determinants of health" framework, emphasizing that factors like socioeconomic status, education, and environment significantly influence individual health outcomes. His work highlights that health isn't determined solely by medical care but also by social and economic conditions, advocating for policies that address these broader influences to improve overall community well-being. This approach has transformed how healthcare systems and policymakers consider health interventions, aiming for more equitable and effective health strategies across populations.
