Video: Chatham-Kent Social Determinants of Health

We talk about health here at CKSN, and we care about the health of youth, so much so that we recently added a Health Section.

We believe sports are an excellent way for our local youth to stay healthy and get healthy, but we also recognize there are many barriers to participation in organized sport or fitness. That’s why, after stumbling across this video from the Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit about the Social Determinants of Health in Chatham-Kent, we thought it was an important message to watch.

What we know is, Chatham-Kent has above average percentages for obesity, smoking, heart disease, and other health related issues…and it will take a combined effort to fix these issues.
