Sylvia Young, HCA Healthcare’s Continental Division President and Chief Executive Officer, believes that attracting and retaining the top talent is a priority in order to provide the best medical care for patient encounters in the HCA Healthcare network of affiliate hospitals in Denver, Colorado, and Wichita, Kansas. That’s why the Denver-based healthcare system opened a $4.3 million state-of-the-art education and simulation center for continued development for all connected caregivers.
“The education center was custom designed to maximize space, learning, and reflection of HCA Healthcare Continental Division facility care environments,” said Erica Rossitto, HCA Healthcare’s Continental Division Chief Nursing Executive.
The 12,000 square-foot space features six high-fidelity simulation rooms, five classrooms, five instructor controlled rooms, one conference room, four debriefing rooms and offices/meeting spaces for educators. The education center will provide interactive learning in a clinical setting without patient risk and lifelong clinical educational opportunities.
“From educators and clinical space to simulation equipment and technology, we have maximized our resources to provide relevant, timely and consistent educational opportunities across our hospitals in the HCA Healthcare Continental Division,” said Rossitto.
“By investing in our clinical talent at all stages of their career, our teams will be well-equipped to adapt and lead in a dynamic, rapidly changing healthcare environment,” Young added.
