Posted By: How May I Help You NC on October 15, 2024 U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) visited Bluefield State University today to tour progress on its Medical Education Center, a state-of-the-art facility being constructed thanks in part to $7.4 million in federal funding she helped secure. The funding, which is part of a broader investment in healthcare infrastructure and education across West Virginia, will bolster the university’s efforts to train the next generation of healthcare professionals in the region. “Investing in medical education is one of the most important steps we can take to ensure that West Virginians have access to high-quality healthcare.” Senator Capito “This new center at Bluefield State University will provide students with the tools and training they need to succeed in the medical field, while also helping to alleviate the healthcare workforce shortages we are seeing across the state and the country,” Senator Capito said. “Investing in medical education is one of the most important steps we can take to ensure that West Virginians have access to high-quality healthcare.” During her visit, Senator Capito met with university and city leaders, faculty, and students to discuss the critical role the Medical Education Center will play in addressing the growing demand for healthcare services, particularly in underserved rural communities. The facility will feature cutting-edge simulation labs, advanced medical technology, and innovative classroom spaces designed to support a comprehensive healthcare education program. The $7.4 million secured by Senator Capito will not only enhance the university’s academic offerings but also help strengthen the healthcare infrastructure throughout the Appalachian region by preparing highly skilled professionals in fields such as nursing, radiologic technology, and other critical healthcare services.
