Summary: Culture and the conditions in which one is born, grows, lives, works, and ages affect many areas of life, including health and health care. In this issue of CJASN, the article “Social Determinates of Health and Race Disparities in Kidney Transplant” encourages transplant centers to identify and intervene on social determinates for at-risk populations, and it effectively concludes that more social support, education, and awareness about transplantation in these communities is needed.
