“The partnership between the hospital and the community college will not only help expand the nursing program at Richland, which benefits both Richland and the hospital, but we are also creating unique educational grant opportunities to remove barriers that many community members face when trying to pursue higher education.” - Julie Bilbrey, Executive Director of the Decatur Memorial Foundation Cristobal “Cris” Valdez, President of Richland Community College This partnership will positively impact the communities we serve for generations to come.” - Dr.
“This collaborative work will not only increase health care education opportunities, but it will also meet workforce needs in the Decatur area. The Nursing Program will include the intentional expansion of a diverse workforce that will be reflective of the community in which both DMH and Richland serve. In addition, Richland will create at least three faculty positions and four new administrative positions to accommodate the program’s expansion. The grant will allow Richland to integrate and expand on the use of technology in the classroom, implementing increased simulation learning in classroom, lab and clinical settings. The grant is the largest ever awarded by Decatur Memorial Foundation. Thanks to a $3.2 million grant from the Decatur Memorial Foundation, the EnRich Healthcare program will expand Richland’s nursing and clinical programs over the next four years, as both organizations address the unprecedented shortage of nurses and other health professionals in the area.
Welcome to the EnRich Healthcare program, a collaboration between Decatur Memorial Hospital and Richland Community College, designed to triple the number of qualified students applying for enrollment into Richland’s nursing and healthcare profession programs.
