About

For more than a decade, Dr. Jerry Kruse has guided SIU School of Medicine through challenge and transformation with a steady focus on what matters most: improving health for our communities.

A family physician at heart, Dr. Kruse has championed care that is effective, efficient, equitable and enjoyable. His leadership has expanded access to care across Illinois, strengthened rural training programs and built partnerships that improve the health of entire populations.
As he prepares to conclude his service as dean, we have an opportunity to honor his legacy in a meaningful way.
Gifts to the Jerry Kruse, MD Medical Student Scholarship support future physicians who share his commitment to compassionate, community-centered care.

Your generosity helps ensure that students can pursue medicine, train in underserved communities and carry forward Dr. Kruse’s vision for healthier communities across our region.

Join us in honoring Dr. Kruse and investing in the next generation of SIU physicians.
