Living conditions, institutional power, and social inequalities are factors “upstream” to the individual and impact the health of each of us. The collection of these upstream factors are defined as the social determinants of health (SDOH). Understanding social determinants and upstream factors helps communities identify inequities and direct priorities, policies, and resources to advance health equity and racial justice.

The NE Wisconsin Equity network is a collaboration of ESTHER, League of Women Voters of Appleton, People of Progression and Stronger Together Fox Valley. Monthly meetings are held via Zoom.
