Help us Meet the Healthcare Education Gap

What we plan to do:

  • Fund acquisition of two significant former PeaceHealth Hospital buildings
  • Establish a state-of-the-art College of Health Professions to meet healthcare workforce needs
  • Repurpose and renovate classrooms, labs, and training spaces to maximize teaching and learning
  • Grow enrollment in the existing School of Nursing and clinical mental health counseling programs
  • Develop and launch new academic programs, including degrees in public health, behavioral health and wellness, and a Physician’s Associate program

We have an historic opportunity to undertake a significant physical expansion of the College of Health Professions through the purchase of former PeaceHealth buildings.

We are the only regional university seeking to create the essential educational programs necessary to meet the critical shortage of healthcare providers in both physical and behavioral health.
