This study will evaluate the impact of a comprehensive wellness and social determinants of health intervention on cardiovascular health in a community setting of the Bonton neighborhood. Participants will not be assigned to intervention activities, but health and wellbeing indicators will be collected in relation to how they choose to participate in activities over the year.
The specific aims of this study are to 1) evaluate whether a population health model integrated into a community setting improves cardiovascular health and quality of life in adults 18 years or older and 2) evaluate which programs and services provide the most impact for specific sub-groups of individuals, e.g., elderly, individuals with diabetes, etc. Participants will receive programs from the existing population health model from Baylor Scott \& White Health and Wellness Center with additional programs from a local community organization. Individuals will complete study measures at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months.
