Neurology SIG presents:

Impact of Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) on Patient Outcomes: Neurologic Case Series

June 25, 2026 at 7:00 - 8:00 PM 

Location: Virtual

Hosted by the Neurology SIG

This virtual presentation will use a series of neurologic patient cases to examine the impact of social determinants of health (SDoH) on patient outcomes in an outpatient setting. The neurologic patient cases will be shared from the Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehab healthcare system, primarily from 2025-2026. Recent research on social determinants of health and patient rehabilitation outcomes will be summarized and applied to the patient cases. Participants will be encouraged to engage in discussion of this real-life impact of SDoH on patient outcomes, and recommendations for promoting equal opportunities in outpatient settings.
