- 요약The US' distribution of wealth is strikingly unequal, especially by race. For every $1.00 the median White family has, Black families have $0.16 and Hispanic families have $0.22. Nonprofit health systems have the potential, proximity, and purpose to address the racial wealth gap, especially in "eds and meds" cities like Philadelphia. This study has three goals: (1) determine the factors that have the greatest impact on wealth mobility, (2) identify the wealth mobility factors Philadelphia nonprofit hospitals are addressing, (3) assess how changes to community benefit reporting would impact hospital investments in wealth building factors.This dissertation used a literature review to identify the factors that contribute to absolute and relative intragenerational wealth mobility. The study focused on nonprofit hospitals in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. A review of publicly available information on hospital websites, municipal bond disclosures, and ProPublica produced a comprehensive view of hospital activity for these factors. Key informant interviews with 10 hospital executives at 6 (of the 8) nonprofit health systems in the Philadelphia area revealed how specific environmental conditions would impact hospital decision making and investing. Of the 11 factors that consistently built (and eroded) wealth in the literature, health systems could only impact six - income, occupation, education, homeownership, business ownership, and neighborhood effects. Profitable health systems, which were also larger and had flagship hospitals in the city of Philadelphia, generally had the most wealth mobility activity and impact. Overall, the greatest hospital wealth building activity occurred for income, education, and occupation. Hospitals executives largely rejected the scenarios that a more expansive community benefit definition, publicizing wealth mobility rankings, or government pressure would lead to increased investment in wealth mobility factors. However, interviews identified a promising catalyst that involved a 1) wealth addendum that communicated a hospital's total wealth building activity (above and beyond the Schedule H Form 990), 2) local government participation, 3) philanthropic support, and 4) savvy, supported leaders. These findings, and the accompanying plan for change, present a practical path forward to marshal increased support and resources for nonprofit hospitals to equitably build wealth (and thereby improve health) in their local communities.
