ADI: Community Health Challenge

Anthem, Inc. is committed to improving lives and communities. Part of that is addressing social drivers of health, which directly impact the health of a community. The conditions of where people are born, live, learn, work, and play affect a range of health and quality-of-life risks and outcomes. Social drivers of health could include:

• Availability of resources to meet daily needs (e.g., safe housing and local food markets)
• Access to educational, economic, and job opportunities
• Access to health care services
• Social support
• Social norms and attitudes (e.g., discrimination, racism, and distrust of government)
• Socioeconomic conditions (e.g., poverty)
• Residential segregation
• Language/Literacy
• Access to mass media and emerging technologies (e.g., cell phones, the Internet, and social media)

Participants in the Community Health Challenge have the opportunity to apply their innovative, evidence-based solutions to help transform the current state of health literacy, medication adherence, and food insecurity.
