Health equity has become a priority for many health care providers and organizations since the COVID-19 pandemic when inequities in care became undeniably clear. However, health equity is not a new issue it has been a barrier to care for many patients over the years. This article reviews the social determinants of health, the conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks. SDoH can be grouped into 5 domains: social and community context, health care access and quality, neighborhood and built environment, education access and quality, and economic stability. The authors use examples from health care research to illustrate specific SDoHs and discuss how the home and alternate site infusion care model may address them. This activity is designed for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, nurses, and dietitians
