3 Florida health systems invest in nurse training facility

Orlando-based University of Central Florida opened a new nurse training facility, made possible in part by financial support from three Florida health systems.

The Dr. Phillips Nursing Pavilion will enable UCF to graduate an additional 150 licensed nurses each year, according to an Aug. 18 news release from the university. 

The facility was established through $43 million in funding from the state of Florida and more than $29 million from private donors, the release said. 

Altamonte Springs, Fla.-based AdventHealth provided “significant investment toward the new building and student scholarships,” according to an Aug. 18 news release from the health system.

Orlando (Fla.) Health and Jacksonville, Fla.-based Nemours Children’s Health also donated financial support for the new facility, the UCF news release said.
