CHMRC is proud to have funded a groundbreaking study published in Health Affairs Scholar by the Urban Institute’s Health Policy Center, titled Tracing Value from Social Determinant Solutions.

By focusing on interventions that tackle homelessness, food insecurity, and barriers to healthcare, the study reinforces our commitment to building stronger, healthier communities.
