June 26, 2025 – Hospital Sisters Health System (HSHS) has announced a new upfront tuition program for employees. The hospital system says Resources & Education for the Advancement of Colleagues, (REACH), allows employees to learn in-demand skills without the burden of upfront tuition costs.
“Through REACH, we are advancing the future of healthcare by investing in the career and academic dreams of our colleagues,” stated Tom Ahr, Senior Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer at HSHS. “We are proud to add this program to our many other workforce development offerings in order to remove barriers to education for our colleagues and empower them to achieve their full potential.”
“Hospital Sisters Health System has a clear vision about what it takes to build a workforce that is better able to deliver exceptional patient care both now and in the future,” said Craig Maloney, CEO of InStride. “We couldn’t be more proud to support their efforts.”
The program will offer 1000+ courses towards earning clinical certificates, associate, bachelor’s and graduate degrees, skills certificates and high school diplomas to help full- and part-time employees pursue educational goals and expand their opportunities within the company. HSHS will also cover up to $4,000 in tuition annually for its employees, who are eligible to participate.
