Insights from Experts in the Field of Community Investing

Insights from Experts in the Field of Community Investing

Sandra Contreras · Jan 30, 2025 ·

In 2021, Healthcare Anchor Network president and founder David Zuckerman appeared on an American Hospital Association panel, “Insights from Experts in the Field of Community Investing,” alongside Robin Hacke, executive director and co-founder, Center for Community Investment; and Doug Jutte, executive director, Build Healthy Places Network. These leaders discussed and shared examples of how hospitals and health systems can address health inequities by beginning or continuing the community investment journey.

From the panel:

We see anchor institutions as economic engines that have an embedded [mission] because they are rooted in place and tend to be the largest employers in their communities, sometimes even regions. The idea of the anchor mission is a north star for how these large institutions that are so inextricably linked to the well-being of their communities can more intentionally align their everyday business practices.
