Overview

Cameron Memorial Community Hospital plans to develop and build an Education and Innovation Center with the intent to collaborate with the health science program at Trine University. Our focus is to produce fundamental advances in care for individuals and communities, through educating and training students and community members to meet our state’s growing and rapidly changing health care needs. This innovative education training center will allow students, nurses, first responders, and community members a place for education, and hands-on training that will impact our region. Some of the trainings offered include; Basic Life Support CPR courses, Stop the Bleed program presentations, Healthy living classes, Exercise and Diet offerings, Medication safety, Pregnancy and Birthing classes, Presenting at area schools annually on current health topics, and Presentations by Trine University partners on topics of public health interest to name a few. This state-of-the-art center will include a simulation lab where the learners interact with life-like patients and simulations where they take everything they have learned and put into practice. There will also be space that can be utilized for lectures, clinicals, testing and community meetings. The Education and Innovation Center will help combat the staffing shortages in the health science industry such as nursing shortages that are seen locally and nationally.
