Overview

Working closely with our partner, Parkview Health, Trine Fort Wayne – College of Health Professions will transform health care education and training in Northeast Indiana. READI funds will be used for the construction of a $44 million, 4-story, 120,000-square-foot building on a 10.6-acre parcel located at Union Chapel Road in Fort Wayne (Allen County). The project will provide leading-edge healthcare academic programs and facilities – including a unique Simulated Patient Care Center (SimCenter) – that have been carefully designed and developed to serve specific needs in the marketplace. Academic programs will include: Associate degree in Surgical Technology, Associate, Bachelor and Master degrees in Nursing, Bachelor degrees in Emergency Medical Science, Respiratory Therapy, and Radiological Science, Master degrees in Speech-Language Pathology and Physician Assistant Studies, and Doctorate degrees in Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy and Medical Sciences. Healthcare professions are not only very much in demand, especially in Indiana and our region, but the need is growing and the salaries are excellent - all of which results in a more stronger, more vibrant local economy. In addition to Parkview Health, collaborative partners include regional charitable foundations, private donors, and numerous clinical partners. Project planning and design is already underway, with construction expected to begin in fall of 2022 and completion in fall of 2024.
