• Description:
  Social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, live, work, play, worship, and age, all of which affect health and wellbeing. Complex issues like the social determinants of health are best addressed through collaborative partnerships instead of a single sector in a silo. Public health agency staff can initiate and develop crosssector partnerships to collaborate with other governmental agencies on common goals and priorities, like access to affordable housing, public transportation, or healthcare services. Although initiating such partnerships can be challenging due to different operational realities and language across sectors, cross-sector alignment and coordination may help create the community conditions that allow everyone to be healthy. This report will share action steps that public health agencies can use to initiate and sustain a cross-sector partnership and highlight examples of successful public health collaborations with Medicaid, housing, and transportation agencies.
  
  This report draws from a series of three calls held with state public health agency staff about promising strategies to build cross-sector partnerships with Medicaid, housing, and transportation agencies. The project and this publication were supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as a part of a financial assistance award for State Partnerships for Population Health, totaling $150,000, with 100% funded by CDC/HHS.
