Evidence shows that social determinants of health (SDOH) are key drivers of diabetes outcomes and disparities in diabetes care. Targeting SDOH at the individual, organizational, and policy levels is an essential step in improving health equity for individuals living with diabetes. In addition, there is increasing recognition of the need to build collaboration across the health care system and the communities experiencing inequities to improve health equity. As a result, partnerships between health and nonhealth sectors have emerged as a crucial component for increasing health equity in diabetes care and achieving health equity. The purpose of this article is to discuss cross-sector collaborations between health care systems and nonhealth partners that target health equity in diabetes care.
