Seeking Models: Health Institutions as Economic and Community Anchors
CCPH is currently working to complete two reports as part of our Health Institutions as Economic and Community Anchors project. We are looking for any additional innovative models we can find to include in these reports. Please let us know if you are involved in or aware of interesting examples of health institutions that are serving as community and economic anchors. We are particularly interested in cases where institutions have targeted their own substantial investment, purchasing, and employment to directly improve economic conditions in their local communities. Promising practices in urban, rural, and other settings are sought. We welcome suggestions of key articles, reports, people and programs that should be cited or included in the report. Please send questions, comments, citations or full-text materials by e-mail: jenbr@u.washington.edu, by phone: 206/543-7954, or by mail: UW Box 354809, Seattle, WA 98195-4809.
