🎉 Big things are happening at WNC's Douglas Campus!
What a great turnout today as we celebrated the official kickoff of our $4.4 million Nursing Program expansion in Minden! 🩺
Community leaders, healthcare partners, college leadership and supporters joined us for a ceremonial groundbreaking and a first look at the exciting transformation ahead.
Thanks to a $4.4 million federal grant, we're turning existing campus space into a modern nursing education facility with advanced simulation labs, hands-on clinical training areas and more opportunities for students to pursue nursing careers close to home.
With Nevada facing a critical nursing shortage, this project is about more than a building. It's about investing in our students, strengthening rural healthcare and preparing the next generation of nurses to serve our communities.
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us today, including our local media who helped share this exciting milestone! We can't wait to see this space come to life in 2027!
💙💛 The future of nursing in Northern Nevada is looking bright!
