Together, we can respond to the communities’ growing need for job-ready health care professionals.

State and other funding has helped the vision reach this point, where the NVCC Center for Health Sciences is readying to complete construction in December 2016. What doesn’t get addressed in this funding is all of the equipment, the expertise and the programs – as much the life’s blood of enabling healthy communities as the expanded space.

EQUIPMENT

EQUIPMENT

By investing in modern equipment and instructional materials, you are ensuring that students are prepared to handle real-life care situations more effectively. The need is vast – from simulators, which can cost several hundred thousand dollars per machine to common care supplies.

EXPERTISE

EXPERTISE

Your investment allows our award-winning faculty to find more ways to engage, inform and inspire students – showing them practical concepts, informing them on current insights and challenging them to apply this knowledge throughout their entire career as a local health care professional.

PROGRAMS

PROGRAMS

By investing in educational programs, you are helping NVCC students expedite their learning in the fields of Nursing, Physical Therapy, Respiratory Care, Radiology, Sterile Processing and Phlebotomy – learning which comes back to our community in the high-quality health care these professionals will provide.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What kinds of equipment will the NVCC campaign provide?
  • In addition to classroom furnishings and related smart classroom audiovisuals, the new Center needs state-of-the-art lab equipment, automated mannequins, and simulation systems. A list of specific equipment is available.
  • How will NVCC students and area employers benefit from the campaign?
  • Students will launch their health care careers with skills in patient care, critical thinking, teamwork, decision making, and communication. Employers will have a local source of skilled graduates while saving training dollars.
  • Why is the NVCC campaign important to me?
  • As a community leader, you recognize the value of quality health care and the critical need for skilled workers. You also want to support a prestige health care program that reflects your personal and professional interests for the future—one that furnishes the new Center for Health Sciences with state-of-the-art equipment and technology.
  • State taxes already support NVCC, why do you need this funding?
  • State tax support has been decreasing during recent years so that the College has had to rely upon other sources of funding for its programs and services. Though appreciated, state bonding for construction of the new Center could not include enough dollars for all the classroom and lab furnishings and technical equipment.
  • Who’s leading the campaign?
  • Dr. Peter J. Jacoby of Saint Mary’s Hospital is the Campaign Champion. Members of the NVCC Foundation, community leaders from the Campaign Committee, and NVCC executives are collaborating to approach potential corporate and individual donors to reach the campaign funding goals.
  • Who else is supporting the campaign?
  • Donors include hospitals, health care facilities, insurance firms, banks, foundations, ambulance services, health care associations, students, alumni, faculty and staff, corporations, and construction firms.
  • Are naming opportunities available?
  • With three floors of modern facilities, donors may choose classrooms, labs, conference rooms, lounges, group study rooms, and even the entire building that can be named for individuals, corporations, foundations, and associations. A list of naming opportunities, site specifications, and gift amounts are available.
  • Are gifts to the campaign tax-deductible?
  • Yes. The NVCC Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable, non-stock corporation. All gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Donors should consult their financial advisor about such deductions.
