Youโ€™re invited! Through collaborative efforts between Health Promotion Council of Southeastern Pennsylvania, Inc., Public Health Management Corporation Research and Evaluation Group, and Department of Health, HPC is hosting a webinar and training on a Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Toolkit and an introduction to the PA Navigate platform by the Community Action Association of Pennsylvania (CAAP) on Tuesday, May 19th at 10 a.m.

Training topics and objectives will focus on:

A live demonstration of the SDOH Toolkit that is publicly available for individuals conducting SDOH screenings in various settings.
How to effectively utilize the PA Navigate platform to navigate and refer individuals to programs and services to address any noted health-related social need (HRSN).
Case study examples on how to utilize both resources in practice.

This training is ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐ž๐ž and open to professionals working with individuals living with prediabetes and diabetes who seek services through clinical, community-based, and pharmacy settings and who would benefit from learning about these tools and resources in supporting their patients and clients with diabetes and addressing identified SDOH needs.

This training will be recorded and available following the session for those unable to attend the training live. Live attendance is encouraged to ask questions and provide input on improving the training and/or the toolkit.

Individuals can register to attend this Zoom webinar at the link below:
