Education Attainment - “We’ve known for a long time that educational attainment combats all other social determinants.”

Of the social determinants of health, education is of the utmost importance. Education attainment creates upward mobility, providing improved career opportunities, housing and food options, and access to health insurance and healthcare. CHEN partners with organizations in the metro area to provide scholarship opportunities, career development, and economic self-sufficiency for those in need. See below for key points on how we can help provide education attainment. For further information or to discuss becoming a member, email CHEN today!
