Closing the “death gap” through wealth building 

Closing the “death gap” through wealth building 

bpham · Aug 28, 2023 ·

The anchor mission and community wealth building efforts of Healthcare Anchor Network (HAN) members Rush University System for Health, BJC HealthCare and Trinity Health are spotlighted in a STAT article.

The article details Rush’s anchor mission journey, including the founding of West Side United (WSU), as well as BJC HealthCare’s and Mercy Health’s (a part of Trinity Health) impact investing strategies.

From the STAT article:

It can be in LA or New York.”
