Social Determinants of Health Statistics 2024

Understanding Community Health Insights from UPOH

This survey was conducted during two key events hosted by United Providers of Health (UPOH): the Turkey Giveaway and Bethel's First Fireworks. Our goal was to gather insights into the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) affecting the town of Bethel, North Carolina and its neighboring towns. We asked attendees a series of questions related to their health and well-being, aiming to understand better the factors influencing their quality of life. The following sections summarize our key findings and provide detailed statistics from the survey responses.
