Social Determinants of Health
Meet Our Providers
Jacqueline Nicholes
MSW, LSW
Jacqueline earned her Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from Indiana Wesleyan University. She says she wanted to become an LSW so that she could give a safe place to individuals in the community that do not have the support they need. She wants to give support, help guide, and help advocate for those who cannot do it on their own. This is a big reason for her passion for working with children and young adults.
A fun fact about Jacqueline is that she has an English Bulldog named Ducky, who she rescued from Tennessee. Jacqueline joined the MVHC Team in December of 2024.
Jordan Sharrer
BSW
Jordan received his Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from Ohio University. He chose to go into social work as he has always had a passion to help people and wanted to pursue a career where he could continue to do that. Jordan previously worked as the Social Service Director at Autumn Healthcare before joining the MVHC Team in October of 2014.
A fun fact about Jordan is he has a twin brother who is also in the medical field! In his free time, he enjoys being outdoors and spending time with his wife and two children. He has a true passion for the outdoors and when he is not spending time with his family, he is typically hunting or fishing. Jordan also likes to travel and typically plans a trip to Florida at least once a year.
Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) are the conditions in which people are born, live, work, play, and age. SDOH have a major impact on your health, well-being, and overall quality of life. At MVHC, we understand how SDOH impact your ability to access and receive health care. That is why we have an entire team dedicated to helping eliminate SDOH barriers you may experience. Our team is comprised of social workers and case workers dedicated to helping you reach your healthcare hopes, needs, and goals.
This looks like:

One-on-one coaching
-
Resource connection (examples: Produce Vouchers, Transportation, Housing Assistance, etc.)
-
Counseling
-
Application assistance (SNAP, TANF, Job Applications, etc.)
-

You can expect an SDOH screening during your visit with us. This is a short questionnaire completed during your medical visit. If you have any needs, one of our SDOH team members will reach out to you.
At MVHC, we are dedicated to your wellness and believe access to high-quality, affordable healthcare is important. Our SDOH Team partners with your medical provider to ensure everyone on your healthcare team understands your goals.
