Allegheny Health Network

Pittsburgh – September 28, 2026 -- Allegheny Health Network (AHN) has secured a $1 million commitment from Greg and Ellen Jordan to fund the Greg and Ellen Jordan Endowed Professorship for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders within its Department of Neurology.

Jordan gift targets research, education and expanded memory disorder care

The endowment will fund clinical care, neuroscience research and support programming for patients with Alzheimer's disease, dementia and cognitive impairment. Greg Jordan is chairman of the Board of Directors of Highmark Health since 2025, sits on the board of MSA Safety, and serves as vice chairman of PNC after retiring as PNC's general counsel and chief administrative officer in 2024.

"We have each lost a parent to memory-related diseases, and we know that supporting AHN's research in this field is needed to continue to make progress on finding ways to deal with these challenges," Jordan said.

Pittsburgh – September 21, 2026 -- Allegheny Health Network (AHN) will pay up to $110,000 toward student loans for nurse anesthesia students who commit to joining the health system as Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), under a new national recruitment program launched in partnership with Boston-based fintech Clasp.

AHN structures payments across three years to lock in early-career commitments

Under the program, AHN will pay up to $20,000 toward eligible loans after 12 months of full-time employment, up to $30,000 after 24 months, and up to $60,000 after 36 months, with payments made directly to loan servicers through the Clasp platform. Employees retain every dollar contributed toward principal, with no claw-back provisions if they leave after milestones are met.
