Charleston, IL -(Effingham Radio)- The Coles Community Health Program (CCHP) Board of Directors, at the November 10 board meeting, has approved a $30,000 grant to the Lake Land College nursing program to enhance a simulation lab.

“As the nature of healthcare continues to change, increased needs of simulation equipment have become a necessity to allow our nursing faculty to better prepare our students,” stated Dr. Josh Bullock, President of Lake Land College. “We are very thankful to the Coles Community Health Program for this grant and for their support of our program. As one of the best nursing programs in the state, Lake Land College is an integral partner in developing highly trained nurses to meet the healthcare needs of our communities.”
