Investing in community health: A toolkit for hospitals

This long-planned community investment toolkit came to fruition during the first six months of 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic spread across the United States and the world. Hospitals were consumed with preparing and caring for COVID-19 patients. Doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff were stretched thin managing not only high numbers of patients but a disease that nobody had ever seen before this year. At the same time, the cancellation of months of elective procedures and regular appointments created a financial crisis for the entire healthcare sector.
