This week, new signage for The Alliance for Healthcare Education was installed. Additional signs were also added at the north and northwest entrances, where major renovations continue. Scheduled for completion in September, the expanded space will provide more classrooms, simulation labs, and clinical learning environments for future healthcare professionals.

While the name on the building is changing, our commitment to students remains the same. This change will not affect students' progress toward their educational goals, and we look forward to seeing them continue to grow into the next generation of health care professionals.
