Core values

- **Health Equity and Sustainability**: BMC has issued sustainability bonds to support green and social projects, including increasing patient beds, new operating rooms, and reducing carbon emissions by 94% since 2011. This addresses health inequities and climate change, which disproportionately affect communities of color[4].
- **Community Health Needs Assessment**: BMC conducted a comprehensive community health needs assessment, identifying and addressing critical issues such as financial stability, housing affordability, food insecurity, access to healthcare, and mental health. This informed the development of community health improvement plans[5].
- **Innovative Programs**: BMC has established a range of services beyond traditional medical models, including a hospital-based preventative food pantry, housing, economic mobility, and violence prevention programs. They also launched the Health Equity Accelerator to study and address racial health disparities[4][5].
