Just Released! Healthcare Anchor Network (HAN) member Rush University System for Health with the support of HAN, shares new insights, implications, and tools to aid in the execution of the anchor mission framework in the Anchor Mission Playbook: New Learnings & Findings in Anchor Mission Execution.
The original Anchor Mission Playbook outlined strategies and insights to execute an anchor mission approach when the field was developing. Six years later, Rush shares new learnings, challenges, developments and resources that have helped the health system ensure the sustainability of its anchor mission in the current financial climate and in an ever-changing landscape.
From the Playbook Introduction by David Zuckerman, HAN President & Founder:
HAN appreciates Rush’s bold leadership to continue to manifest—as well as improve upon— its commitment to health equity and building the economies of its surrounding neighborhoods.
We hope Rush’s story and advice are inspiring and practical for others in their own anchor mission journeys as they pull from Rush’s experience and innovation. However, we know that institutions will inevitably proceed with their own journeys, contexts, creativity, and the lived experiences of their own communities and staff. HAN thanks and acknowledges Rush for its willingness to move forward with the anchor mission ideas and strategies without other examples to rely upon. Rush is truly an anchor mission pioneer, helping us to build the anchor mission movement.
