… in the words of Ontario chief medical officer of health, Dr. Arlene King… “All of (poor health factors) speak exactly to the social determinants of health”… King is asking the government of Premier Dalton McGuinty to view all provincial programs and policy through a “health lense,” setting goals and targets for improved health, measuring health indicators like infant mortality rates and focusing more health care system resources on prevention. This is necessary because 75% of what makes people healthy or ill is outside the jurisdiction of health and long-term care.
