Your Patient Data,
Information and Resources

Underlying Factors That Shape Your Health

Non-medical factors can influence your overall well-being. These factors include living conditions, economic status, education, environment, and access to food and health care. These circumstances can determine up to 80% of your health.

At Emory Healthcare, we strive to understand these factors. This helps us provide forward-thinking care that treats the whole person. Your comfort is a top priority. Our goal is to enhance your care in a supportive environment that is never intrusive.

Your personal details, including income, living situation, and ethnicity, can significantly impact your health. For instance, health conditions affect various demographic groups differently. When we can collect and analyze this data, we are able to offer better, more targeted treatment.

We’re here to listen and be by your side, every step of the way.

Enhancing Your Access to Care

We want to understand and reduce health care inequalities by building trust and tailoring care to your needs. You receive more personalized support when you share information about your identity, cultural preferences and any barriers to care.

Your care team is here for you and wants to build a trusting relationship with you and your family. To get to know you and your needs, we may ask about your preferences, including:

  • How we can help
  • How we can provide care that respects and fits into your cultural considerations
  • Obstacles you face that may prevent you from getting the care you deserve
  • What you would like us to call you

Breaking Barriers To Bring You Peace of Mind

When you keep your health information updated, we can provide necessary resources if you face obstacles like hunger, housing issues or language barriers.

Emory Healthcare can connect you with various programs if you need help. Programs include access to healthy food, affordable housing, legal assistance, reduced medicine costs and transportation vouchers.

Quality Care That Speaks Your Language

Clear communication and respectful guidance are vital for effective health care. If English is not your preferred language, translation services from medical interpreters are available. We want to ensure you understand your treatment plan and care options.

 

This reduces risks associated with misunderstandings and also empowers you to follow aftercare instructions at home in ways that help you heal. Language matters, and you deserve to actively participate in your health journey.
