Summary:

Dr. Benjamin Danielson has been focusing on trying to get to the roots of illness before it begins: using social determinants such as poverty, racism and being marginalized. Eighty-five of the patients are on Medicaid. Literacy is a major initiative. Every child leaves the clinic with a book. Families are taught healthier eating habits when they are guided in their food shopping at the local grocery store. Dr. Danielson states: "You can't educate an unhealthy child, and you can't keep an uneducated child healthy." These two issues are inextricable.
