Understanding social health
There are 3 elements that support your total health — and they’re all connected. Physical health is the health of your body. Mental health is the health of your mind. Social health is being able to take care of your basic needs — having a safe place to live, nutritious food, and positive relationships.
At Kaiser Permanente, we know these things are an important part of improving the total health of our members. You can count on us to connect you to the social health resources you need to live well and thrive.
