Calistus Multiple Myeloma Foundation

The more you know!

For instance, patients see their doctors few times each month.

After the doctors visits, what they face is beyond their control…things outside the doctor’s office like food, transit, housing, money, goods, care, the list goes on.

That’s why the social determinants of health are a big concern for the patients.

Economic stability
Conditions of Physical Environment
Access and Quality of Care/Caregivers
Social and Community Context
