Endeleo Health
We focus on conditions that impact health, commonly referred to as the Social Determinants of Health. We challenge the notion that health is solely an individual’s responsibility and utilize the determinants of health as a social construct to explain why some individuals and groups have better or worse health outcomes than others. Recognizing the interrelated nature of conditions in our community enables Endeleo to develop strategies that help individuals exert a higher degree of control over their health. Our work is undergirded by Community-engaged Research (CEnR), a data-driven approach that connects health researchers and academic institutions to community residents. Endeleo serves as a bridge to those connections.
