A new statewide collaboration announced today will expand and strengthen Indiana’s healthcare workforce, expand clinical training opportunities, improve access to care statewide, attract talent, and drive innovation in Indiana and beyond.
Marian University, Purdue University, and The Catholic University of America, in collaboration with healthcare systems and academic partners across Indiana, including Community Health Network, Ascension St. Vincent, Parkview Health, Margaret Mary Health, Hancock Health, Daviess Community Hospital, Deaconess Health System, and the Indiana Rural Health Association, have launched the Crossroads Academic Medical Institute (CAMI). In addition to its Indiana partnerships, The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., will help develop a complementary national model for Catholic academic medicine.
This first-of-its-kind distributed academic medical center coordinates medical education, research, and clinical training through a statewide network across Indiana. Read more about the initiative here.
“Through this partnership with Marian University, Hancock Health will help educate the next generation of physicians while expanding access to high-quality care close to home and strengthening the future of health care in our region,” shared Steve Long, CEO of Hancock Health.
Chief Operating Officer at Hancock Health, Matt Browning, shares why Hancock Health is excited about this initiative to build community-centered care right now in Indiana.
