The RWJBarnabas Health Social Impact & Community Investment practice (SICI) leverages RWJBarnabas Health’s broad range of assets to advance a culture of health and improve the quality of life for communities throughout New Jersey. The Social Impact & Community Investment practice is rooted in ensuring health equity, by advancing strategic policy change, combined with evidence based and innovative programs that address the social, economic, and environmental conditions that have a significant impact on health outcomes. The Social Impact & Community Investment practice at RWJBarnabas Health also serves as a driver of the system’s anchor mission to Hire Local, Buy Local, and Invest Local.
Once a quarter, the Social Impact & Community Investment practice co-chairs a Corporate Anchor Roundtable (CAR) meeting with RWJBarnabas Health President and Chief Executive Officer Barry H. Ostrowsky. During the meeting, asset leaders and internal stakeholders lead discussions to highlight the successful implementation of our anchor mission (Hire Local, Buy Local, Invest Local) and review the opportunities and challenges surrounding further adoption of initiatives that address the social determinants of health.
