Three years ago, Daniel Lee Rogers was at work and fell 10 feet after slipping and landing on a concrete floor. The result of the mishap was a separated acromioclavicular joint, which is a frequent injury among physically active people.

Dec. 11, 2019 – The Eskenazi Health Foundation Board of Directors has approved a $500,000 grant for Eskenazi Health to accelerate the integration of social determinants of health into clinical care. Already a local and national leader in addressing social determinants, Eskenazi Health will accelerate ongoing initiatives while also exploring new innovations. Eskenazi Health will work with the IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health at IUPUI among many other community partners, to assess how and where social determinants of health are impacting patients at Eskenazi Health. Once identified, patients can be referred to in-house or community-based programs and services that complement their medical care. The effort will include automated decision support into the electronic health records system at Eskenazi Health to standardize the identification and referral process.
