There are social determinants of health . These are questions like : ‘ Do I have access to or can I afford fresh produce and healthy foods ? What is my access to emotional and social support ? Do I have the ability to pay my bills and not worry ? Will I have heat next week when it is 40 degrees outside ?’ Answers to these questions contribute to health and well-being of the community .
