RÉSUMÉ
Social determinants of health (SDOHs) are the "conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks" (Healthy People 2030 2021). These conditions include economic stability, education access and quality, healthcare access and quality, neighborhood and built environment, and social and community context. Ultimately, social determinants affect health status and outcomes to a greater degree than direct clinical care. Although these factors are experienced at a personal level, their impact can be seen on a community level. Also, while SDOHs vary, they tend to be more negatively impactful in rural communities-which then experience more harmful effects on health outcomes than their urban or suburban counterparts (National Advisory Committee on Rural Health and Human Services 2017). The unique experiences and challenges of rural communities require unique solutions. Guadalupe County Hospital in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, collaborates with community partners to address SDOHs. These efforts have a positive impact on their communities and can be replicated in other rural settings.
