#WestPhilly's former Mercy Hospital is becoming something totally new: a resource hub for achieving health equity and sustaining public health. The result is an innovative collaboration between Penn Medicine and non-profit publichealthmanagementcorp. Working as part of a coalition that includes childrensphila and ibxfdn, the organizations are collectively building a new kind of community-centered resource hub that isn’t just about treating illness, but about promoting and sustaining public health: a hub that is accessible to all regardless of age, income, or insurance status; expands access to primary and preventive care to reduce emergency-room visits and hospital stays; and addresses the historic health inequities that have for generations afflicted the people whom it serves.
