Through community partnerships and collaboratives, healthcare organizations are launching programs to address social needs and social determinants of health. But is the way we’re spending our resources putting us on a path to achieve long-term goals for population and community health? At the moment, the answer is no. And one reason is this: As we’re busy designing and managing new upstream initiatives, we’re treating them as individual programs, not as investments within a broader portfolio. Join us to hear national experts discuss new ways for institutions, multi-sector collaboratives and entire communities to shape interventions into a cohesive investment strategy that can achieve long-term financial, health, and social impact.
Speakers:
- Rishi Manchanda, MD, MPH, Founder & President, HealthBegins
- Lisa Richter, MBA, Managing Partner and Co-Founder, Avivar Capital
- Lauren A. Taylor, MPH, MDiv, Doctoral Student in Health Policy, Management, Harvard Business School
Webinar Objectives:
By the end of the webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Describe financial and sustainability challenges and pressures facing institutions and communities seeking to improve SDH.
- List at least two ways in which “impact investing” and “trusted broker” concepts relate to their own work on SDH.
- List at least two new approaches that institutions and communities can try to better manage, finance, and sustain SDH interventions.
