A Professional Community Built on Collaboration

ICAHN’s peer network groups and listservs create opportunities for rural healthcare professionals across Illinois to connect, collaborate, and share solutions.

These groups support ongoing communication between hospitals while creating valuable opportunities for networking, idea sharing, operational problem-solving, and professional development.

ICAHN hosts peer meetings throughout the year focused on topics impacting rural hospitals and encourages staff at all member hospitals to participate in groups aligned with their roles and responsibilities.
