As a pediatrician, I see poverty's marks all over my patients' growing bodies and minds. Kids in lower-income families are roughly twice as likely to suffer poor mental health, among other unacceptable truths.

The good news? We know how to help at-risk children.

@ImpactFactoryUT’s Executive Director, @DrMichaelHole, is senior author on a new @nejmcatalyst paper arguing that hospitals should invest in #HealthEquity to bolster their bottom lines, cultures, and reputations👇

[Michael Hole, MD, MBA @DrMichaelHole]

Doing the right thing is good for business.

"Hospitals that invest in community health equity—reducing [...] the determinants that adversely affect excluded or marginalized groups—can strengthen their financial performance, organizational culture, and reputation."
