CINCINNATI -- (Business Wire)

The Health Collaborative (THC) announced a $150,000 investment from Covista to expand healthcare career exploration opportunities for middle and high school students across Greater Cincinnati.

The three-year, $50,000-per-year investment will support THC’s Workforce Innovation team as it develops, launches, evaluates, and expands programs designed to introduce young people to the broad range of careers available across the healthcare industry – from clinical and allied health professions to behavioral health, public health, community health, and more.

“Students cannot pursue healthcare careers they don’t know exist,” said Tiffany Mattingly, Chief Engagement Officer & Vice President, Clinical Strategies. “Covista’s investment will help us open doors earlier, create meaningful hands-on experiences, and connect students with the people and pathways that can help them envision and pursue a future in healthcare.”

Greater Cincinnati’s healthcare workforce needs sustained investment in the next generation of talent, yet many students have limited opportunities to explore careers beyond the providers they encounter in traditional clinical settings. Through Covista’s support, THC will strengthen existing youth pipeline programs while exploring new experiences including:

• Healthcare Innovation Hack-A-Thons: Team-based challenges inviting high school students to identify & develop creative solutions for topical healthcare problems
• Employer-Connected Experiences: Site visits, simulations, career fairs, speaker panels, mentorship opportunities

"Healthcare has room for everyone who wants to build a career in it, and that starts with showing young people what's possible," said Amelia Manning, president of Chamberlain University, a Covista institution. "We're proud to support The Health Collaborative in giving Greater Cincinnati students a clear line of sight into the field, whether that leads them to nursing, allied health, or another path in healthcare. Investing in this pipeline strengthens the entire community we serve."

As a regional healthcare convener, THC brings together healthcare employers, educators, community organizations and public partners to address challenges that are best solved together. This investment will provide earlier and more equitable exposure to healthcare pathways and open doors for students who may not otherwise have access to sustained employer-connected healthcare career exploration.
