Focus on health-science students
This facility is designed to support the high demand and fast growth of the healthcare field.
Healthcare is one of fastest growing and most in demand career fields in our community and across the nation. In response to this need, the Rio Grande campus enhancements will primarily serve health-science students. The new facility will include cutting-edge simulation labs, giving students hands-on experience responding to medical emergencies and patients. Faculty will be able to view and control the simulations to provide constructive feedback to students. Students will receive cutting edge training to become Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT), Phlebotomists, Radiography and other high-demand careers in the medical field. This building will also allow EPCC to create a new AAS program in Echocardiography.
It will be great to have new classrooms, new labs especially for the students. I see this neighborhood taking a turn for the best. I just moved down the block, and am part of the community. It’s nice to know that EPCC is going to build new facilities and that the funds are going to improving the school, and therefore improving the neighborhood as well.
