Shawn Opat knew that, one day, all the years of wear and tear on his back from working previously in the freight business, playing high school sports and lifting weights would eventually catch up with him. And he was right.

A couple of years ago he started noticing pain and discomfort in his abdomen when lifting heavy things. He had a feeling it was a hernia but just didn't want to take the time to deal with it. It eventually got to the point where he could see a bulge in his abdomen every time he lifted something heavy. He knew he should do something about it. Read the full Healthbeat story here

New federal regulations are now requiring healthcare providers to request information from patients regarding Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) at the time of admission to the hospital or clinic. SDoH are non-medical factors that could influence patient outcomes and overall well-being.

So the next time you visit Salina Regional Surgical Associates you may be asked a series of questions that you have never been asked before and you may wonder why we are asking you these questions such as whether you can afford your medication, do you feel safe at home, do you have adequate housing and transportation to and from doctor’s appointments and whether you have any food insecurities. All patients will be asked the same questions. Patients may also receive an email from the patient portal to complete a questionnaire online prior to visits with their physician.

With this information, communities can work together to determine what resources are needed, how to more effectively utilize the resources that are currently available, and what needs to be done to address the Social Determinants of Health as a community. Understanding patients SDoH also allows care providers to work with patients to develop an effective care plan that meets all their needs.

Today we thank the men and women who have served our country and those who continue to serve. We salute you.
