I’m currently in my Family Med clinical rotation, and our professor has us working on social determinants of health stuff for the didactic/academic portion. To that end, she sent us some resources and then I dug up a bunch more, so I wanted to share links to the resources I found in case anyone finds them useful in their practice for helping patients with SDOH needs.
Unfortunately, these are all going to be American resources, but hopefully they’ll be helpful to someone.
- Neighborhood Navigator for resources by zip code
- Reading Level analyzer for patient instructions.
- SAGE - Resources for LGBTQ+ Elders
- Medigap/Medicare Part C for supplemental and prescription drug coverage
- Medicare Savings Programs for low-income seniors
- Supplemental Security Income assistance for seniors and people with disabilites
- Aid Access - Buy abortion pills online
- Dental Care state programs
- Free or Low Cost Eye Care
- Hearing Aid Project
- Google Doc of OB/Gyns known to do hysterectomies
If there are any other resources you know about, please share them in the comments! This stuff is so important for healthcare access, but they can be really hard to track down sometimes.
