About the Anchor Institution Mission at UC Davis Health:

In 2019, UC Davis Health launched its Anchor Institution Mission for Community Health as a commitment to better leverage its business operation and standing as the second largest employer in Sacramento County to advance the economic security and opportunity in surrounding under-resourced communities, ultimately improving health equity and the socioeconomic well-being of these communities.

Health Equity means everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible. This requires removing obstacles to health (social determinants of health) such as poverty, discrimination, and their consequences, including lack of access to good jobs with fair pay, quality education and housing, safe environments, and health care.

In collaboration with community partners, UC Davis Health seeks to implement these anchor strategies:

  1. Hire locally -- Hire locally and develop talent.
  2. Purchase locally -- Purchase more goods and services from local vendors.
  3. Invest Locally -- Invest into projects in vulnerable communities.
  4. Volunteer locally -- Engage employees in volunteering in local neighborhoods and support community building We hope that you can join us for this event to learn more about AIM and provide your valuable insight as we move forward.
