I wouldn't underestimate the importance and influence of boards of trustees and boards of directors to say,
This is who we are.
This is a priority.
And we're going to find a way to do our part on helping address these issues of social determinants.
I think when the highest entities of our institutions put a stake in the ground, particularly when they partner with the senior management to do so, I think we can make a lot of progress.
I would first amplify just this enormous challenge of mental and behavioral health that children and adolescents are facing.
I think this is one we just have to dramatically pick up the pace, the investment, the interventions, the upstream that we need to do on it.
I think on the social determinant front, mental and behavioral health doesn't know any boundaries when it comes to socioeconomic status, race status.
It permeates every segment of society.
That said, of course, issues around stress or what people often refer to as ACEs, joblessness or low income, food insecurity, transportation gaps, childcare gaps and inequities, those things only exacerbate
the kind of environment that a child or adolescent is growing up in.
And it makes it that much more challenging for them on the mental and behavioral health front.
But again, I think it's really important when we talk about mental health to recognize this affects every segment of society, regardless of income, et cetera.
Well, I think we've just begun to make a little dent in our own community through partnerships with our institution and with parents and children.
If 40 plus percent of a child's health and therefore life potential
trajectory is influenced by these issues around income, then I think we as healthcare institutions, we as children's hospitals, we as society have to do something about it and do our part.
