Family-Centered Health Promotion

In the realm of the dynamic healthcare system in the country, healthcare practitioners and policymakers are increasingly considering the social determinants of health (SDOH) as fundamental components of the realization of value-based care.  Taylor et al. (2016) describe social determinants of health as the conditions, in which people are born, live, grow, work and age. As such, these conditions typically influence the individual as well as group differences in regards to health status. According to Thornton et al. (2016), the five main social determinants of health are economic stability, education, social and community context, health and health care, and neighborhood and built environment.  On this basis, this paper seeks to explore the social determinants of health on the family interviewed.  The paper also explores the health model that would support the health concerns of the family best and the strategies that can be devised in order to promote the health status of the family
