This webinar will introduce a new study testing an innovative model for preventing child maltreatment and adverse child experiences by aligning health and social services for vulnerable families in St. Louis. The Parents and Children Together - St. Louis initiative braids together services and funding streams from multiple sectors to assist families with children who are referred to child protective services for first-time and low-severity problems.

America's Essential Hospitals transformed its annual conference, VITAL2020, to a six-day, online experience. This virtual event will feature education content, insights from association and industry leaders, and opportunities to connect with essential hospital peers. Breakouts include policy and finance, executive leadership, population health, and innovations in care.

This virtual event will bring together representatives from healthcare, community and faith-based organizations, researchers, government leaders, educators, and businesses to share best practices, offer community connections and resources, and engage in the crucial discussion of how to best address the social determinants of health.

Increasingly, it is critical to understand the clear associations between social determinants and poor health status among children, adults and seniors. Factors such as food insecurity, lack of safe and affordable housing, quality education, transportation, and isolation have a significant impact on individual health and the collective health of our nation. The cost to healthcare, businesses and communities is in the billions and the human toll is incalculable.
