Light Lab Live (Webinar)- Housing, Health & the ER: The Most Expensive Healthcare Can Happen When Families have Nowhere Stable to Live
October 21 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
What if one of the most effective healthcare interventions isn't found in a hospital, clinic, or prescription bottle, but in stable, affordable housing? Join us for the next Light Lab Live as we examine the powerful connection between housing stability, health outcomes, and healthcare costs in North Carolina. Through data, research, and real-world examples, this discussion will challenge the common assumption that housing and healthcare are separate issues, revealing how housing conditions often drive the health challenges families experience and the healthcare systems struggle to address.
Key Takeaways:
- How housing stability functions as a key social determinant of health.
- The relationship between housing insecurity, chronic illness, and emergency healthcare utilization.
- How frequent moves, evictions, and poor housing conditions affect children's development, educational success, and overall well-being.
- Why housing instability often contributes to recurring health issues rather than isolated medical events.
- The connection between North Carolina's housing challenges and rising healthcare costs.
