Good health requires more than just health care. You also need access to resources that support your social health — like food, housing, and more. If you or someone you know needs support, you can count on us to help.

What is social health?

There are 3 parts of your total health — physical health, mental health, and social health. And they’re all important. 

Social health is being able to take care of your basic needs, like:

  • A safe place to live
  • Access to healthy food
  • Good relationships

Kaiser Permanente supports all your health needs — including your social health. Browse our community resource directory to learn about food and housing resources, how to apply for financial support, and more.*
