Thank you, Ibrahim Rashid, MPP and ImpactAlpha, for highlighting CNote in your article about how hospitals are addressing social determinants of health through innovative financial strategies! "The most practical way for hospitals to engage in social determinants of health-related investments, while fulfilling fiduciary obligations, is through cash deposits and targeted CDFI debt purchases.
