McLeod Health Clarendon has contributed $25,000 to Central Carolina Technical College to support nursing education and help prepare future health care professionals for the region.
The contribution will support CCTC’s nursing programs as health care providers continue to face a need for qualified nurses and other skilled professionals.
“Preparing the next generation of nurses is essential to ensuring patients continue to receive safe, compassionate and high-quality care,” said Denise Allison, chief nursing officer for McLeod Health Clarendon. “By supporting nursing education at Central Carolina Technical College, we are helping students develop the knowledge and skills they need to serve patients throughout our region.”
Allison said nurses play a key role in McLeod Health’s mission of improving the health and well-being of the communities it serves, with their expertise and leadership helping hospitals provide care safely and efficiently.
McLeod Health Clarendon CEO Scott Adams said the contribution also builds on the health system’s relationship with CCTC and its efforts to develop the local health care workforce.
“Central Carolina Technical College is a valued partner in preparing the skilled health care professionals our communities need,” Adams said. “We depend on each graduating class for well-educated, qualified candidates who are ready to begin successful careers and meet the healthcare needs of our region.”
Adams called the contribution an investment not only in CCTC students, but also in future McLeod employees and the patients and families they will serve.
McLeod Health said the $25,000 gift is part of its continued effort to strengthen the region’s health care workforce through education and workforce development.
Representatives from McLeod Health Clarendon and Central Carolina Technical College gather for the presentation of a $25,000 contribution to support CCTC’s nursing education programs. The funding will help prepare students for careers in health care and support workforce needs throughout the region.
