Determined Health

Determined Health’s Connection1ˢᵗ approach addresses social determinants of health by building meaningful connections. We envision a new way to live and age well—one that places human connection at the center of care. People are the missing link, and relationships and trust are key ingredients for effective, equitable care. Although the scale of the problem can feel overwhelming, evidence shows that tackling loneliness is one of the most powerful places to start. Increasing social connectivity—a critical determinant of health and a fundamental human need—improves outcomes across the lifespan. Building on our experience helping programs nationwide combat social isolation and loneliness, we’ve developed an end-to-end solution that enables individuals and organizations to mobilize and create meaningful social connections—the bedrock of good health and well-being. All students, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or socioeconomic background, are welcome to participate.
