ICAHN Rural Health Fellowship 2026 - 2027

The ICAHN Rural Health Fellowship is a six-month leadership development program for c-suite and senior leadership 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 settings and a greater understanding of what rural leaders are called to do in their positions.

Through hands-on learning, coaching, and collaboration with peers across the state, you’ll develop practical skills, build lasting relationships, and grow into a stronger, more effective leader.
