Voting as a Social Determinant of Health
October 7 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Free**A Partnership between UNC School of Social Work & UNC School of Medicine**
This panel centers civic engagement as a key social determinant of health. Systemic racism, socioeconomic inequality, and access to basic human needs—food, transportation, housing, education, healthcare—are foundational to how communities live and die; and, each is shaped by our vote. The Schools of Social Work and Medicine are joining in partnership with a new generation of students and health professionals to promote health in the community, in the clinic, and in the ballot box. Come learn how students from across professional disciplines founded Vot-ER, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to integrating civic engagement into healthcare, UNC’s inaugural chapter.
