20years of anchor institution momentum

The brief

Over the past 20 years, anchor institutions—in particular health systems and universities—have increasingly explored how to leverage their significant assets to benefit the health and well-being of their communities. More recently, institutions have recognized that a deeper commitment to collaboration is required to move the needle on systemic inequities, advance equitable economic development, and support wealth building within the low-income and communities of color they serve.

This playbook details how groups of anchor institutions are building effective place-based partnerships together with community partners to improve individual and family well-being and build equitable local economies.
