Hospitals Allied for Healthy Communities Toolkits
Posted by Democracy Collaborative on January 30, 2017
Every day, we learn more about how patients’ health outcomes are tied not only to the healthcare they receive but also to the conditions in the communities where they live. Health systems are increasingly stepping outside of their walls to address the social, economic, and environmental factors that contribute to poor health outcomes, shortened lives, and higher costs in the first place.
With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, The Democracy Collaborative is creating these toolkits to accelerate a new model in healthcare that builds community health into core business practices. These toolkits will help health systems integrate community health principles into three distinct business functions: (1) inclusive, local hiring and workforce development, (2) local and diverse sourcing; and (3) leveraging their long-term investment portfolios for community investment.
