These substantial contributions will assist with economic and mental health support
Adtalem Global Education, a leading workforce solutions provider, has announced $300,000 in donations to two organizations that directly align with Adtalem's business strategy in healthcare and financial services education. Adtalem, with support from the Adtalem Global Education Foundation, has selected the American Nurses Foundation and A Better Chicago to receive these contributions.
"At Adtalem Global Education, we recognize the importance of providing accessible healthcare and education opportunities," said Lisa Wardell, chairman and CEO of Adtalem. "The COVID-19 crisis has put unprecedented pressure on everyone, with a particular impact on low-income families and those on the front lines fighting this pandemic, which is why we chose the American Nurses Foundation and A Better Chicago for these donations."
According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, "Nearly half of adults in the United States reported that their mental health has been negatively impacted due to worry and stress over the virus1." This figure will only grow as first responders and front-line healthcare workers are able to process what they have seen and experienced.
"Adtalem's global headquarters are in Chicago, and we have seen firsthand the positive impact our Windy City neighbors have on our communities," said Stephen Beard, chief operating officer of Adtalem. "A Better Chicago's mission is to change how Chicago fights poverty by creating opportunities for our youth to thrive in education, career and life."
