Social Determinants of Health
We at Your Health are fortunate to offer mental health services as primary care providers.
Excellent healthcare doesn't separate physical and mental care; they are equally vital to a patient's success.
We have tremendous social workers who provide talk and cognitive behavioral therapy daily. However, we also have another side of our Social Work Program that helps patients with resources and daily needs like food, shelter, social support, and more.
It doesn't matter how good your provider or therapist is; the patient will continue to struggle if we don't meet all these social determinants of health. Recently, our very own Bryan Melton (Social Worker) helped someone we will call "Joe".
Joe has significant health struggles, including going to dialysis a few times a week, but one of his most significant needs is stable housing. Brian worked his social work magic and community resources and found Joe stable housing. By meeting this crucial need, Joe can focus on his health issues, and worrying about where he will live will not be a distraction.
Joe recently left a message for our Chief Behavior Officer, Jimmie Williamson, Ph.D., LMSW, to let him know about Bryan's impact on his life.

We can provide the most incredible physical and mental healthcare, but the social determinants of health are the foundation for our’ genuinely living their best lives.
