The Social Needs Investment Lab

A Partnership to Provide Health Equity Insights

Healthcare leaders today need actionable insights into the costs, value, and impact of health equity and social needs interventions in their own environments.

Through the Social Needs Investment Lab (The Lab), HealthBegins and Elevance Health are bringing together healthcare and community leaders to explore emerging evidence and evaluate these interventions across health, economic, and social outcomes. This effort is a crucial step toward integrating health and social care in a way that is both equitable and sustainable, helping to elevate the health of our nation.

The Lab aims to enhance investments in interventions and solutions that address and mitigate the impact of unmet social needs—which are caused by upstream social, institutional, or structural causes that often drive poorer health outcomes and health disparities.

By sharing a range of actionable insights, including health-related social needs evidence assessments and forums for dialogue, The Lab supports stakeholders in making informed, impactful decisions. The Lab is not just a resource, it’s a catalyst for change.
