*To the Editor:* We thank Ingerick and Iuga for their interest in our work on provider burnout.1 Our findings suggested that family physicians working in clinical settings equipped to address patients' social risk factors had lower odds of reporting burnout symptoms. The results highlight an underexplored rationale for bolstering clinic-based social services: these services may decrease clinician burnout. Clinic-level strategies to collect and respond to social risk data—and the multi-level impacts of these strategies—should be the focus of future research.
