This Black History Month, Ascend is proud to launch a campaign in Bright Funds to help support and uplift Black students, professionals and communities in healthcare and education. We've selected four charities aligned with our mission and purpose that are working to enhance healthcare quality, champion equity in healthcare and help prepare the next generation of caregivers. As we honor Black History Month, let's help shape the future. Your donation is more than a gift; it's a statement that Ascend stands for diversity and opportunity in healthcare and education. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of many and demonstrate the power of our collective action. Thank you for your support—your generosity can help change lives.
