Middlelayers.org is a small organization in the hospitals and health care sector focused on scholarship about the social determinants of health. Its research centers on the long-term effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences, traumatic events that can trigger toxic stress and interfere with brain and physiological development. The work emphasizes that ACEs begin in utero and influence health across a lifetime, particularly among marginalized populations. It is based in Jacksonville, Florida, and has a compact team. By highlighting how ACEs disproportionately affect low-income communities and contribute to intergenerational health disparities, the organization contributes to broader health discussions.
