Beaufort County Community College's new Lisa Long Nursing Simulation Lab is a game-changer for nursing education, while Gaston College's Lincoln County Health Academy is paving the way for future healthcare professionals. Fayetteville Technical Community College's Cardiovascular Technology program is set to transform cardiovascular care training in the Sandhills Region.
