Your best experiences in healthcare are shaped by people. Across the country, healthcare professionals are leaving the sector, straining our ability to meet your evolving health needs.
You can’t live your best life without them. That’s why Rush University System for Health is investing in solutions to combat burnout and turnover while removing barriers many aspiring healthcare professionals face to entering — and staying in — the field.
We’ve seen the spark, and the future of healthcare is bright. With your partnership, we will educate and inspire a healthcare workforce that gives you their best every day. Will you join us?
Gifts of any amount to any education and workforce development program help us achieve our mission to prepare future generations of compassionate, capable healthcare providers.

The Boundaries We’ll Break
Together, we can give every student a high-value health sciences education and nurture a nimble healthcare workforce. Here are the opportunities for your support to propel healthcare careers:
- Rush University Scholarships: Remove financial barriers to enable more students to pursue their passions and attain a world-class education so they can apply their skills in high-demand healthcare careers.
- Rush Student Experiences: Set current and prospective students up for success through supportive programs, paid research opportunities, educational simulations and exposure to a wide variety of clinical specialties.
- Workforce Development: Expand opportunities that promote career exploration and development while strengthening wellness and support services for providers to care for themselves, so they can continue to care for others.
- Faculty and Staff Support: Attract and retain the best practitioners and educators from across the health sciences and provide reliable resources for them to explore their interests and grow — personally and professionally.
“We have a responsibility to the next generation of providers who will serve the needs of our communities. Rush University is going to raise the bar on recruitment, training, education and support of tomorrow's leaders. With your help, we can create new opportunities, provide necessary resources and nurture the pathways of those preparing to address the healthcare challenges of the future.”
