Trending NOW: SDoH - From Buzzword to Bottom Line Strategy with Elizabeth Levy, AArete

S3E8: What's Trending NOW is Social Determinants of Health: From
Buzzword to Bottom Line Strategy. On this episode of Trending NOW,
host Shahid Shah engages with Elizabeth Levy, Managing Director at
AArete, to unpack the powerful business case for Social
Determinants of Health (SDOH). Far from being just a feel-good
initiative, Levy makes the case that SDOH must become a core payer
strategy—cutting costs, improving outcomes, and strengthening risk
adjustment. Drawing from AArete’s work with over 100 health plans,
she shares insights on how SDOH can be operationalized, why it’s
often misunderstood as "charity," and how advanced analytics and AI
can transform SDOH from dashboard data into predictive, proactive
care. Tune in to hear how progressive payers are unlocking value
from SDOH—today, not someday. To stream our Station live 24/7 visit
