PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Our genes, the medical care we receive and even the medications we take play a big role in our overall health. But the most important factor is arguably the social determinants of health.
Where we work and live can play a part, as well as other issues like social policies and environmental factors.
To address the needs specific to you, Pennsylvania health care leaders created a free online network called PA Navigate that can help connect you to social services that are free or at reduced cost. PA Navigate can search over 17,000 social support programs in Pennsylvania.
