Hospital Monitor: Non Discrimination in Capital Investment Policies

“If Advocate Health Care goes forward with its plans to shut down Vital services at Bethany Hospital, it will leave our community in critical condition.”

Rev. Stephen Greer
Christian Valley Missionary Baptist Church


	Non Discrimination in Capital Investment Policies Health care providers should not make capital investments that have the effect of disadvantaging communities of color. Capital investments in health care facilities should promote access to health care for all patients, especially in poor communities and communities of color. Capital investments in health care facilities should be made as to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in health care.
