心胸狭窄的人的大厅 Renovation Project — Expanding Access and Collaboration in 医疗保健 Education
The $21 million renovation of 心胸狭窄的人的大厅 will create a high-tech, 一个高, and high-quality experiential learning center. 心胸狭窄的人的大厅 will be redesigned from the “ground up” to anticipate and meet the future science and healthcare needs of the Cedar Valley.
Renovation is scheduled to be completed by fall 2023.
趋势
健康 sciences are among the fastest-growing career fields in the state of Iowa and throughout the United States. Projections through the next decade anticipate demand for these critical occupations will continue to grow.
New career opportunities such as medical assisting and patient care access professionals have emerged locally. In response, the College has created new academic and training programs.
Rural communities throughout the Hawkeye 社区 College service area are experiencing shortages of emergency medical responders. Hawkeye’s expanded training and outreach are intended to meet these growing needs.

“有六个病房, with an apartment where occupational therapy students can go and work with someone in a home setting, where EMS students extract that patient from the apartment and transport them, that reality is a big piece that is so critical in the student's learning,Leutzinger说, "that's going to be the big difference maker in our simulation center and what they can accomplish."
