Community members and Ivy Tech officials gathered today to celebrate the completion of a new laboratory space dedicated to instruction of Tell City’s newest offering – Certified Nursing Assistant program.
Funding for the Perry County Memorial Hospital Health Sciences Center and equipment was provided by Ivy Tech, Perry County Memorial Hospital, and the Perry County Development Corporation.
“The Certified Nursing Assistant certificate is a great entry into several healthcare fields,†said Ivy Tech Chancellor Jonathan Weinzapfel. “This is a high-demand career path in the region. Many CNAs go on to become Qualified Medical Assistants, Nurses, and Surgical Technologists.†Weinzapfel added that the lab is a wonderful addition to the Anatomy Laboratory, and will allow Ivy Tech to increase the number of healthcare offerings at the Tell City site.
