Have practical ideas for incorporating other social determinants of health (besides medical interventions) into daily practice.Articulate an overview of the historical link between health care, community partners, and faith communities.The presentation will seek to 1) broaden the understanding of health such that it encompasses more than just medical intervention 2) offer ways to see comprehensive health care from a team approach that incorporates physicians, non-physician providers, and community assets and 3) suggest ways of engaging the faith community in issues of health and wholeness that opens opportunities to increase health care for the underserved. These limitations often result in physicians frustrated by the demands of their profession that often put them at odds with a desire to more effectively meet the health care needs of the underserved in their communities. Likewise, physicians are confronted by significant time limitations that leave little opportunity to imagine a broader understanding of medical practice that invites team building with non-physician care providers and other community assets. The contemporary practice of medicine is shaped by philosophical assumptions about health and the aims of medicine that focus primarily upon the treatment of disease and the alleviation of suffering. In seeking to meet health care needs, the definition of health as more than simply lack of disease must be embraced by physicians who aim to care for the underserved. Because local physicians are key components in meeting this need, a necessary consideration is the question of what is understood by “health”. Despite its intentions, the Affordable Care Act, while opening access to health insurance for many, has not effectively solved the problem of health care for the poor. In a community with significant poverty, lack of health care for the underserved remains a challenging social issue.
