ICAHN’s Rural Health Fellowship is a six-month rural health leadership development program for new and emerging C-suite and C-suite track individuals from Illinois’ critical access and rural hospitals or other rural health organizations.

As a Fellow, you will gain a deeper appreciation of what sets rural healthcare apart from urban and a greater understanding of what rural leaders are called to do in their positions.

The Fellowship will focus on four key pillars: rural health, operations, finance, and healthcare leadership,
and will transform thinking while challenging Fellows to grow as leaders.

ICAHN will select 20 highly motivated individuals to participate in the 2023-24 Fellowship. An informational webinar will be held August 29 at 9:00 a.m. and applications will open the same day. The deadline to apply is September 22.

Key Elements of the Fellowship:

• Robust and collaborative learning curriculum, including in-person
sessions and interactive Zoom sessions that will meet twice monthly. The Fellowship kick-off will be held October 30 in Springfield, Il.
• Mentor pairing with an experienced rural health leader through the
duration of the Fellowship
• Building, planning, or implementing a rural healthcare project of your
choice, and presenting your project at the conclusion of the Fellowship

Cost: $2,500 per person. Scholarships will be available to accepted participants from ICAHN’s member critical access and small rural hospitals.

Why should you be a Fellow? Here is what Fellows from last year said about this opportunity:

    • My experience with the ICAHN fellowship program was invaluable. The CEO of Pana Community Hospital, Trina Casner, was my mentor and I hit the jackpot with her. We were able to bounce ideas off of each other, along with working on the fellowship project together. It was a great way to form relationships from around the state with many professionals. I would recommend every leader to participate in this program! 
    • It was divine intervention, as I was full of doubt about rural health.
    • A very wonderful opportunity to improve on leadership skills and to be empowered and inspired.
    • New and seasoned leaders need to embrace life long learning and relationship building. The ICAHN Fellowship program not only met this, but exceeded it.
