Purchasing Locally
Our strategy aims to facilitate the purchase of more goods and services from local vendors and historically underrepresented communities.
To meet supply chain needs, we include 10 more zip codes in our AIM communities to extend our reach to more local small businesses. Our total purchasing catchment represent 23 zip codes covering communities in the Sacramento region identified as having higher social and economic disparities than other nearby zip codes.

Communities of Focus
In 2020, UC Davis Health formally launched its Anchor Institution Mission (AIM) for Community Health. The UC Davis Health AIM initiative is focusing on economically distressed communities in the Sacramento region.
At the start of the AIM initiative in 2020, four geographic areas were identified as priority communities. This was later expanded to five, but with further evolution of the initiative, the AIM Communities have expanded to include 13 geographic areas based on distance to the UC Davis Medical Center campus and in alignment with the Aggie Square Community Benefits Partnership Agreement. AIM is focused on the following 13 zip codes: 95817, 95820, 95824, 95828, 95811, 95814, 95815, 95822, 95823, 95838, 95818, 95832, 95833.
