Finishing Strong: 2020-25 Strategic Plan Progress Report

Published Date:

SIU School of Medicine instituted a five-year strategic plan in January 2020, just two months before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Illinois. Despite the two-year imposition of this pandemic, remarkable progress has been made to advance this plan. Across the organization, we have used this plan frequently as decisions are made to further our mission, vision and partnerships.
 
A new progress report (linked below) has been published to outline the accomplishments that reflect the resilience, innovation and unwavering commitment of our entire SIU Medicine community.  We are proud of what we’ve achieved and are determined to finish strong.

To honor that commitment and to sustain our momentum, SIU Medicine will extend the current strategic plan through December 2026.  This will allow us to fully realize the remaining goals, deepen the impact, and carry forward the collaborative energy that has defined the last five years.

I am proud of the progress that you have made on these goals.  Your work in all areas has been exemplary.  May it deepen your dedication to our shared mission and inspire all of us to finish this plan with purpose, unity and excellence.

-  Jerry Kruse, MD, MSPH, Dean and Provost
