It's Happening at Rush University:
A Driving Force for Health Through Faculty Practice
The College of Nursing's Faculty Practice delivers nursing services and direct care to diverse populations at more than 20 on sites across Chicago. One of these sites is a clinic at St. Leonard's Ministries. St. Leonard's provides formerly incarcerated men and women with housing, employment and educational services to help people transition back into the community. The Faculty Practice clinic manages health needs and fill gaps as St. Leonard's residents work toward establishing primary care providers for the time when they leave.
