Rush University System for Health’s comprehensive anchor mission Business Supplier Diversity initiatives are featured in our latest case study.
As an anchor institution that has adopted the anchor mission, Rush is focused on improving the economic vitality of Chicago’s West Side neighborhoods and has consistently worked through multiple avenues to do so including healthcare, community engagement, and education. One specific community engagement strategy is buying and sourcing directly from the West Side of the city wherever possible. This strategy has allowed Rush to utilize their purchasing power to generate community wealth.
