Introduction: The persisting and evolving COVID-19 pandemic has made apparent that no singular policy of mitigation at a regional, national or global level has achieved satisfactory and universally acceptable results.

In this paper, we argue that a more effective approach is to equip and strengthen community coalitions to become (LLHCs) that use data over time to make adaptive decisions that can optimize the equity and well-being in their communities.

Article Synopsis
- Social determinants of health (SDoH) play a significant role in the well-being of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, affecting treatment and health outcomes.
- Clinicians from 17 pulmonary hypertension centers demonstrated strong awareness of how factors like socioeconomic status, health insurance, and education influence patient health, but noted a lack of formal screening for SDoH at the point of care.
- To address health disparities, there's a call for dedicated social workers and support staff in PAH care, along with policies that integrate SDoH into care management for better healthcare access and outcomes.
