Addressing SDoH with Community Connected Care


Brent sits down with Neal Turnage and Danny Maxson from Elevance Health’s Social Impact Team to explore how the Community Connected Care initiative is redefining healthcare. They share how Elevance is actively addressing Social Determinants of Health (SDoH)—like housing instability, food insecurity, and transportation access—by embedding support into member-facing systems. Through strategic partnerships, digital tools, and person-to-person outreach, they’re helping clients and members navigate real-world barriers to health. This episode breaks the myth that social needs only affect low-income populations—and shows how everyone is just one crisis away from needing help.
