Political determinants of health include the governmental systems, structures, and policies that impact health outcomes.
In collaboration with an array of healthcare stakeholders and partners, the Offices of Community Health and Government Relations at Dartmouth Health are hosting a day-long symposium on December 10, 2026, to explore the political determinants of health. We discussed how laws and regulations influence the health and economic prosperity of Granite Staters.
This event was open to the public, and all interested in the health and well-being of our communities were welcome to attend.
