HAN member Bon Secours Mercy Health is partnering with Springfield Small Business Development Center (SBDC) in Ohio to invest $1 million towards a new low-interest loan program for small and minority-owned businesses to build community wealth and improve the health of residents.
From the Springfield News-Sun article:
Adam Groshans, president of Mercy Health, said the hospital views the health of the community as being beyond health care, and supporting small businesses impacts employment and financial stability — both directly tied to a healthy community.
