The South Side is ready for an innovative health careers pipeline

It is an exciting time for today’s students growing up in a technology era with worldwide cyber reach. Health care is filled with technological advances disrupting legacy processes with innovative approaches to prevention, diagnoses and treatment fueled by AI.

This is an excellent opportunity facing Southside youth. 

Yet, when you ask Southside students if they want to be doctors, most will consider it a bridge too far to cross. Our challenge is to help them see that, with the right preparation and new pathway opportunities, it is possible to become health care professionals serving their home communities. The community needs them.
