Quinsigamond Community College has received an unprecedented gift of $300,000 that will allow it to complete the final phase of its health care programs.
The $300,000 from the Lloyd G. Balfour Foundation has been used to purchase mannequins for the simulation portion of healthcare training at the school. These multi-racial mannequins allow students to practice required procedures and techniques on mannequins and making critical decisions in real-time without compromising patient care
According to the college, through these simulations and the proximity of the program to diverse neighborhoods, the school will be able to expand career ladders in healthcare for multi-lingual, multi-cultural, low-income students.
The donation is part of an ongoing fiscal campaign, the Regional Investment in Service and Education (RISE) campaign, and positions the college to complete the simulation program and thus round out the full health care programming offered by the college.
