Health Professions Groundbreaking Ceremony

1.0078740157480314

Around 75 people--including Sen. A.J. Wilhelmi and Rep. Emily McAsey--attended the college's Health Professions groundbreaking ceremony on Jan. 25, held in the T-Building Conference Center.

Another special guest was iStan, the nursing program's patient simulator that, in addition to being the anchor of photos with dignitaries, was part of a demonstration with students highlighting new technologies in the program.

The 124,000 square-foot building will be constructed in the open area north of the existing T-Building and will allow the college to offer new, in-demand programs.

Mary Beth Luna, Nursing and Allied Health Department chair, said new programs planned for the building are ultrasound technician, surgical technician, medical assistant, physical therapy assistant, pharmacy technician, and massage therapy.
