Seventeen health systems, including Cleveland Clinic and Advocate Health, have pledged a commitment to make 10% of all new hires “impact hires” – meaning employees hired from economically disadvantaged areas.
The “Impact Workforce Commitment,” designed in partnership with a leadership group of Healthcare Anchor Network (HAN) member health systems and the National Fund for Workforce Solutions, is meant to provide opportunities for prospective hires who, for one reason or another, have faced barriers to employment.
