County College of Morris celebrated the ongoing construction of its new Center for Health Professions with a building dedication ceremony last week. <\/p>\n
The 80,000-square-foot facility, scheduled to open in the winter of 2027, aims to address the national shortage of health care workers, college officials said.<\/p>\n
The center will provide advanced learning spaces and modern laboratories that simulate leading medical centers. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis center will prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals who will care for residents of Morris County and the surrounding region,\u201d college President Anthony J. Iacono said in a statement. <\/p>\n
The new facility will allow County College of Morris to introduce degree and certificate programs in high-demand fields like dental hygiene, dental assisting, diagnostic medical sonography and medical assisting. <\/p>\n
It will also enable the expansion of existing programs in nursing, radiography, respiratory therapy and paramedic science.<\/p>\n
Local healthcare leaders voiced their support, highlighting the need for well-trained graduates.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a privilege to be the recipient of the amazing graduates from CCM,\u201d Trish O\u2019Keefe, senior vice president of Atlantic Health System and president of Morristown Medical Center said in a statement. \u201cThese students are prepared, engaged, and focused on patients and families bar none.\u201d<\/p>\n
