Dear colleague,

Welcome to the March 2023 issue of the Health Anchors Learning Network newsletter.

This month's guest blog is a long read which showcases learnings from US Anchor institutions. The blog features a number of HALN resources to help you take action on the highlighted insights.

We are also highlighting the newest page on HALN’s website, where you can find inspiring examples of Anchor approaches. As usual, we’ve also put together a round up of interesting and inspiring content from the sector.

See you next month!
