Healthcare without Hurdles: What Mississippi Physicians Are Learning from SDOH Screening

This episode explores the Healthcare without Hurdles initiative, led by the Mississippi State Medical Association Foundation, and how structured Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) screening is enhancing clinical insights across Mississippi communities. Drawing on insights from a provider partner clinic, the conversation reflects on how surfacing needs has prompted intentional conversations about care and practice-level reflection. The episode shares how integrating the screening tool into clinic workflows and distributing region-specific resource libraries have supported care coordination and further positioned community clinics as leaders in addressing barriers that extend beyond the visit.
