IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF ONE PERSON CAN IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

That belief is foundational to Alverno’s array of health care programs. It’s what makes an Alverno-educated health professional in demand by both patients and employers. And it’s what drives continued innovation in how we equip students with the knowledge and experience to make a positive impact.

This impact is especially needed in communities that have experienced inequities based on upon race, socioeconomic status and other factors. Such communities are more vulnerable not only when it comes to everyday health issues but also suffer more severe consequences for atypical events, like the COVID-19 pandemic. And this is where our Alverno Strong students, faculty and alums go to work every day, improving access to quality health care and building healthier communities ― one door, one interaction, one shot and one person at a time.
