Description

As the agency reported it.

The project will support the college's efforts to train students to be qualified staff at regional medical centers, nursing homes, and emergency medicine locations. The project will help the region absorb, recover from, and adapt to the coronavirus pandemic, which has caused a nursing shortage in the area and an increase in state demand for skilled healthcare workers. Once completed, the project is expected to graduate around 800 new healthcare professionals to meet immediate regional needs or to move into further study that will lead to higher-level jobs (i.e., advanced practice nurses, physician assistants), which will contribute to the region's local workforce, create and retain jobs, attract private investment, and advance economic resiliency throughout the region.
