Leveraging Anchor Resources for Long-term wellbeing.

Leveraging Anchor Resources for Long-term wellbeing.

Sandra Contreras · Jun 16, 2025 ·

Healthcare Anchor Network (HAN) President & Founder David Zuckerman spoke at the Penn LDI Aligning Health Systems with their Community’s Economic and Social Needs virtual seminar on the expanding role of health care systems as anchor institutions in their communities and how the anchor mission is a powerful tool to support health and wellbeing in neighborhoods. 

From the Penn LDI seminar:

“I think of the anchor mission concept at its heart as both good business and mission aligned and that the real win in this scenario is when you can work at the intersection of those two things. I ultimately think of this approach as an asset-based community development approach.”
