Abstract
Culture, and thus cultural diversity, can identify social determinants of health (SDOH), but they are unlikely candidates as the basis of reconciliation and well-being. We examine Jacksonville Community Council, Inc.’s community-driven framework, community quality of life indicators, and the new role of data to shape community partnerships addressing nonclinical challenges such as homelessness. The case study demonstrates how JCCI led the City of Jacksonville on a 40+ year journey of community data and research that influenced policy leaving a legacy of international influence built on civic engagement. JCCI's pioneering spirit is evident in the shift towards effective data collection on culture and social needs permitting data to be positioned to address problems identified in SDOH to shape partnerships, link resources to patient care, and address social issues that impact community health. Weaving social care into SDOH gives individuals a place at the table and opportunity for enhanced community health and stability.
