Health Sciences

A bold new era for Creighton's health sciences enterprises.

Leading the way

Creighton is a true leader in the health sciences, educating more professional health sciences students than any other Catholic university.

You can help us create more Jesuit-educated healthcare leaders by supporting Creighton’s fundraising campaign Forward Blue and making a gift to your school or college.

Forward Blue

Forward Blue is the largest and most comprehensive fundraising campaign in Creighton’s history. It celebrates Creighton by raising funds to ensure that our mission endures.

Building on our strengths

Two capital projects underline the growth of our health sciences enterprise — the CL and Rachel Werner Center for Health Sciences Education (opened in 2023) and the Creighton University Health Sciences Campus – Phoenix (opened in 2021).

Creighton continues to make bold strides in its training and curriculum, as well. Through the University's innovative approach to interdisciplinary education, students learn and train alongside other health sciences professions. Through the medical humanities, they study disciplines traditionally seen outside the scope of medicine to emphasize the areas of healing beyond the physiological.

Creighton's Phoenix campus

In 2021, Creighton welcomed the first group of health sciences students to its new Phoenix campus, the $100 million Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust Health Sciences Building. The campus accommodates nearly 900 students and is bringing future healthcare professionals to an area direly in need of them.

The CL and Rachel Werner Center

The CL and Rachel Werner Center for Health Sciences Education is the new home for the School of Medicine and a state-of-the-art facility embracing Creighton’s commitment to interprofessional education.

Located immediately east of U.S. Highway 75, the 145,000-square-foot, five-story facility brings future physicians, nurses, OTs, PTs, physician assistants and EMS technicians all together to learn and work under one roof.
