AB  - There is an increasing national awareness that improving the health of the nation will need to involve addressing social determinants of health, including adverse childhood experiences. Advances in translational science and the science of social change have created new opportunities to address this refractory problem. This paper will describe a cross-sector collaborative effort in Western North Carolina that has produced unexpected fruit since its start in 2010, discuss themes that supported success, and identify future essential work.
