The Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO), Health Outreach Partners, MHP Salud, and National Health Care for the Homeless Council invite you to our HRSA-sponsored webinar to explore strategies to screen special and vulnerable populations for social determinants of health (SDOH) and build effective practices to begin addressing SDOH through outreach and enabling services (ES).

This is an opportunity for health centers serving special and vulnerable populations to explore effective strategies to screen for SDOH and utilize data to build effective practices of addressing SDOH through the provision of outreach and enabling services.

Join AAPCHO and COVID-19 and Other Infectious Diseases Health Equity Response Network (CHERN) for a four-part learning series designed for clinicians, clinical supervisors, and other clinical staff. Learning Objective: Review clinical care guidance, updates, and resources for COVID-19.
