The healthcare workforce shortage is not a future concern for Covista (NYSE: CVSA); it is the central problem around which the organization has built its entire model. Healthcare systems across the U.S. continue to face gaps in staffing across nursing, medicine, behavioral health and allied health disciplines. Covista approaches this challenge through a large-scale education infrastructure designed specifically to expand access to healthcare careers and produce practice-ready graduates. It serves more than 97,000 students through five accredited institutions and graduates over 24,000 healthcare professionals annually. That scale distinguishes its role within healthcare education. Among those institutions is Chamberlain University, serving approximately 40,000 students across a growing national campus network. Chamberlain plays a significant role in expanding the nursing workforce through both campus-based and online education pathways. “As the nation's largest healthcare educator, Covista is not just training the next generation of healthcare professionals; we are strategically growing where the need is greatest. Chamberlain University, the nation's largest school of nursing, is a critical part of that effort,” says Amelia Manning, president, Chamberlain University, a Covista Institution. Rather than focusing on a single profession or academic pathway, Covista supports a broad healthcare talent pipeline spanning physicians, nurses, veterinarians, counselors and other healthcare practitioners.
