The Social Medicine Consortium

The Social Medicine Consortium is an organization dedicated to studying and promoting how social factors—like income, education, housing, and community conditions—affect people's health. It brings together researchers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers to understand and address health inequalities rooted in social circumstances. By highlighting the social determinants of health, the Consortium aims to create fairer health systems and policies that improve health outcomes for all, especially the most vulnerable. Ultimately, it advocates for a holistic approach to health that considers societal influences alongside medical care.
