Philanthropy’s Role and Response to Local Hospital Closings: An opportunity for Healthcare Disruption
Keywords:
Equity, Healthcare, Philanthropy, Disruption, Hospital Closing, Integrated HealthcareAbstract
As a philanthropic leader, I reflect upon the impact of a local community hospital closing its doors after forty years, which serves a large low-income population and reflect upon the opportunity to design and build a comprehensive integrated health system as a result of the hospital closing. The questions addressed in this reflection include: How can a philanthropic organization, like The Alliance become part of the solution? Can the status quo of healthcare delivery be disrupted to center equity into an integrated care model as part of a broader new healthcare ecosystem? Can a foundation be poised to address the implications of the overall health and morale of the community due to the recent hospital closure along with the inequities and disparities related to the pandemic?
