Creating greater equity in health care is one reason behind the rising interest in addressing factors beyond health care that impact patients’ health and longevity. Awareness of the social determinants of health (SDOH) can also help providers deliver more patient-centered care. Alli Totzke-Hitzeroth, DC, MPP, vice chair of the ACA Health Policy Committee, will review the significance of SDOH during her upcoming #ACAEngage2025 education program and help DCs understand how to use screening tools to gather information that can be used to better meet patients’ needs.

Having strong muscles, bones and joints can make a tremendous difference in a person’s quality of life as they age, enabling them to prevent falls and continue to engage in activities of daily living. Surprisingly, many people are not doing as much as they could to preserve their musculoskeletal health and strength, and others are doing nothing at all. During #ACAEngage2025, ACA member Morgan Price, DC, will present “Rehab and Conditioning for Older Adults”, sharing insights as well as programming and resources to assist DCs in helping patients set and achieve goals.
