HAN member University Hospitals recent $236 million expansion of UH Ahuja Medical Center in Beachwood, Ohio shows how large-scale investments in health care infrastructure can address community health needs and spur economic development. From the Crain’s Cleveland Business commentary by Heidi L. Gartland, chief government and community relations officer at UH: UH is expanding health care access while also laying the groundwork for long-term economic prosperity. Projects such as the UH Ahuja expansion don’t just build walls; they create jobs, generate income and uplift entire communities. This expansion is an example of how health systems safeguard our well-being — both physically just about treating patients — while also sustaining families, supporting local businesses and driving regional growth. https://ow.ly/u9ZT50Ue2j5

“Healthcare systems, as mission driven, economic engines can realize their full potential as incredible community assets by intentionally committing to their role as an anchor institution. Suppliers and GPOs, like Vizient, can bring their innovation, expertise, and willingness to collaborate towards these local goals as well.” - David Zuckerman, President & Founder of the Healthcare Anchor Network (HAN) At the recent Vizient ESG Impact Spend Summit, David emphasized that every action within our healthcare systems can be a step toward more vital communities. He shared inspiring examples from HAN members embedding social impact into their day-to-day operations, demonstrating the potential of healthcare systems as mission-driven community assets. By embracing the role of an anchor institution, healthcare systems can transform economic impact into actual community health. https://ow.ly/VHur50U5rw8 #AnchorMission #SDoH #purchasing #buylocal #supplychain #sustainability #environmentaljustice
