How will proposals be developed for the Healthcare education infrastructure?
A Clinical Simulation Taskforce is being formed at the present time. There is representation from all seven hospitals in the region: Columbus Regional Hospital, Dearborn County Hospital, Decatur Memorial Hospital, King’s Daughter Hospital (Madison), Margaret Mary Hospital (Batesville), Schneck Medical Center (Seymour) and St. Vincent’s Jennings Hospital. Also included are representatives from educational institutions: C4, Southeast Career Center, Ivy Tech Region 10, Ivy Tech Region 11, and IUPUC. The taskforce will meet through the summer and early fall and make a collective proposal in October that will be reviewed by a Steering Committee of regional healthcare and educational leaders. The Community Education Coalition and the Heritage Fund-The Community Foundation of Bartholomew County will also review and approve the proposal.
