In signing the Healthcare Anchor Network’s (HAN) Place-based Investing Commitment, health systems commit to redirecting a portion of their investable assets toward impact investments that are place-based and address community conditions that create racial, economic and environmental disparities. The goal of these investments is to improve community health and well-being, particularly for those impacted by a legacy of divestment and discrimination.
Signatories are required to allocate at least 1% or $50 million (whichever is less) of long-term reserves or unrestricted investment fund or pool for place-based impact investments (pensions and other restricted assets are to be excluded from consideration). Moreover, signatories are required to deploy at least the minimum investment amount within five years of creating the allocation. Finally, signatories are required to collect and submit annual data to the Healthcare Anchor Network in order to track collective progress and impact, and to ensure accountability.
