Social Care is a holistic concept that bridges the gap between medical treatment and people’s everyday lives. From food and housing to transportation, healthcare must expand beyond the clinic walls to address more than just a patient’s clinical healthcare needs. In this episode, Dr. Eve Glazier has a candid conversation with Jasper Kump, a thought leader and clinical social worker, and Niki Miller, who serves as Chief of Staff for the Faculty Practice Group at UCLA. Both Jasper and Niki offer a unique perspective into how to build an infrastructure that improves quality and health equity for patients from every community.

This episode dives deep into the social determinants of health, including financial strain and housing needs. Niki and Jasper both highlight unique patient stories to help illustrate just how even small social care interventions can make the world of difference in a patient’s health outcome.
