About our Anchor Mission

In 2017, RWJBH launched the Social Impact & Community Investment practice to address the social determinants of health, with the goal to improve health outcomes, promote health equity, and eliminate health care disparities. The practice also spearheads our anchor mission, which is to leverage our health system’s economic power, in partnership with the community, to mutually benefit the long-term well being of both. Therefore, RWJBH seeks to promote local suppliers in New Jersey. We promote local economies through our HIRE BUY INVEST LOCAL strategy.
