Abstrakt: Education, employment, housing, neighborhood safety, and traumatic life experiences influence people's health, and poor health as a result of inequities in these areas cannot be remedied by medical care alone. Although social determinants of health threaten the attainment of a healthy life for people across North America, nurses are positioned to be leaders in a movement toward health equity. Nurses can follow the example of Jesus in loving their neighbors as themselves by addressing the social needs of patients, championing health system change, educating their communities, and advocating for Health in All Policies.
