## About Penn Medicine – Wharton Fund for Health

The Penn Medicine – Wharton Fund for Health invests in early-stage, for-profit companies that have the potential to strengthen the social determinants of health for economically disadvantaged Philadelphia residents.

No one’s zip code should be a threat to their health. The Fund for Health – a collaboration of the ESG Initiative at the Wharton School and Penn Medicine – is a transformative project for investing in the health and well-being of Philadelphia. This work builds on the University of Pennsylvania’s longstanding commitment to serving our communities and leading innovative programs to improve and sustain health equity.

According to the CDC, social determinants of health (SDOH) are “conditions in the places where people live, learn, work, and play that affect a wide range of health risks and outcomes.”
