Summary:The inequalities in income, wealth, and opportunity so deeply ingrained in our society's history of enslavement, genocide, racism, and discrimination are root causes of health disparities. Follow through is a comprehensive approach that begins before birth and continues into childhood, where health professionals, families, and communities partner to meet the social as well as medical needs of infants and families to achieve health equity. This article discusses potentially better practices for follow through, offering neonatal care providers tangible ways to address social determinants of health, the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age and the systems that creates these conditions.
