Covista

The Cincinnati tri-state area has nearly 50,000 open healthcare jobs, with six vacancies for every healthcare graduate in the region. That gap has real consequences for patients, health systems and the people trying to enter the profession.    Chamberlain University, a Covista institution, announced a new Cincinnati campus, now accepting applications for BSN classes beginning August 2026. It's the university's second Ohio location and one of many planned by 2029 under our Purpose at Scale strategy, a direct investment in the regions where growing the nursing workforce matters most.     Students will train in state-of-the-art simulation bays with flexible scheduling built for working adults and career-changers. No application fee and no prerequisite courses required—just a clear, three-year path to a BSN from the largest nursing school in the country.    Read the full announcement: https://bit.ly/4fubQzF 

Meet Amelia Manning—the new President of Chamberlain University.     She's stepping into the role at a critical moment for healthcare education. With 702,000 monthly healthcare vacancies and a growing need for practice-ready nurses, Amelia will lead the number one educator of nursing students in the U.S. into its next chapter of growth.     We sat down with her on day one for a rapid-fire conversation—what drives her, her favorite part of working in education and what healthcare systems need right now. 

3.5 miles. Two offices. One team. Yesterday, colleagues from our Chicago and Lisle offices laced up and hit the course together for the 2026 JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge. Whether they walked, jogged or ran, our team showed up the way they always do—together. This year's event supported Association House of Chicago, an organization that has spent 126 years building a more inclusive society by tackling instability in local neighborhoods head-on. A great night for a great cause.

Hundreds of thousands of healthcare positions are open today—and over a million more workers are expected to leave in the coming decade. The future of healthcare depends on whether we can educate and support the next generation of professionals. But too many aspiring nurses, doctors and clinicians never make it through the door—held back by lack of access and systems that weren't built to support them.  As America's largest healthcare educator, Covista is working to change that.  Covista Open Doors is our multi-year impact commitment to open doors to healthcare education, remove the barriers that keep students from graduating and support the well-being of the workforce already in practice.

Our Chairman and CEO Steve Beard has a clear perspective: higher education built its model around a student who no longer represents the majority. Working adults. Veterans. Single parents. Career changers. The people American healthcare needs most have historically been the hardest for traditional institutions to reach. When the design is right for them, they deliver. Beard shared his perspective on what higher education owes this moment—and what's already working. Read more: https://bit.ly/4ttB2tG

Dr. Lorna Breen treated patients in the ER during the height of the pandemic, contracted the virus herself and returned to the front lines during an impossible surge. She died by suicide in April 2020. She's not an outlier. 400 physicians die by suicide every year in the United States—and female physicians at a rate even higher than their male counterparts. Lorna’s experience mirrors that of so many in healthcare and reflects longstanding challenges in health worker wellbeing. The Dr. Lorna Breen Act was signed into law to change that. Congress has the opportunity to fund it with $45M in FY27—and we're proud to stand behind that ask. Covista is the founding corporate partner of the national ALL IN: Caring for Caregivers cohort through the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes' Foundation built to give health systems the tools to make healthcare worker wellbeing part of operations—not an afterthought. This week's prescription: a system that supports healthcare workers in being human.

Q3 FY26 results are in—and we're raising our full-year outlook.    $487M revenue. 100,000+ students. Eleven consecutive quarters of enrollment growth. Chamberlain University returned to positive enrollment growth and Walden University hit an enrollment record—alongside continued strong performance from Ross University School of Medicine, American University of the Caribbean and Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine.    As America's largest healthcare educator, we remain focused on what matters: training the healthcare professionals our communities need when the workforce shortage demands it most.    See the full results: https://bit.ly/4wbEJXn

Covista’s institutions educate more nurses annually than any other U.S. institution. Through Chamberlain University and Walden University, we're shaping the future of nursing education—preparing students with the knowledge and clinical rigor they need to deliver excellent patient care from day one. Nurses are one of healthcare's most critical assets—showing up for patients in any scenario they may face. That demands real investment. Each year, Covista graduates 24,000 new healthcare professionals—more than any other U.S. institution—including 10% of America's nurses. From undergraduate programs to advanced practice doctorates, our institutions are committed to academic excellence at every level. It's an approach to education that doesn't just produce graduates—it develops nurses who are prepared to lead. As AI reshapes healthcare, we’re also preparing nurses to use it effectively through our Hippocratic AI curriculum and certifications. Because the future of nursing isn’t about replacing the human touch. It’s about empowering the healthcare workforce to use it as a tool to support patient care. This Nurses Week, we celebrate the nurses who show up every day and the educators and institutions that helped them get there.

There are 702,000 healthcare job openings every month. That means shifts are short-staffed. Care teams are stretched. The caregivers left standing are absorbing the work of colleagues who aren't there—and the system keeps asking for more without giving anything back. Healthcare worker burnout isn't a mindset problem. It’s a workforce crisis. This Mental Health Awareness Month, we're writing a prescription for what healthcare workers actually need: more caregivers, better support and a system that gives back what they pour out. Every week in May, a new prescription. A new patient. A new Rx. Refill as needed.
