Briar Cliff University announced an update for a healthcare workforce training facility earlier this year, the College of Health & Equity. The updated plans called for a new building to better meet the needs of those teaching, learning, and receiving care.
Following the $2 million grant award from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) and added support from the Missouri River Historical Development (MRHD) and other donors, Briar Cliff University has worked alongside CMBA and Project Advocates to finalize plans for the new health care workforce training facility. The University has increased its fundraising goal to allow an aggressive redesign, focused on enhancing equitable access to healthcare and education for all students in the tri-state area.
