New CommonSpirit Health National Academic Partnerships
Part of our nursing strategy is to work with academia to increase the number of nursing graduates and the diversity of our profession. There are longstanding partnerships between universities and our local markets. In FY22, we partnered, for the first time, as a national system with one US and one international university. CommonSpirit Health signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with the Mervyn M. Dymally School of Nursing at Charles R. Drew University (CDU) in Los Angeles, and the LORMA College of Nursing in the Philippines.
CDU is “committed to cultivating diverse health professions leaders who are dedicated to social justice and health equity for underserved populations through outstanding education, clinical service and community engagement.” CDU is the second most diverse four-year private nonprofit college in the nation, with over 80 percent of students and over 71 percent of faculty from communities of color. LORMA is a degree granting nursing school with a global perspective - emphasizing quality, Christian values and leadership skills. These two universities have missions that complement ours and we look forward to developing specific plans for our partnerships during FY23. •
