In 1966, Tri County Tech assumed responsibility for the Jane Phillips School of Practical Nursing, with its first class graduating in 1968. Since the first partnership with Ascension, Tri County Tech has created an economic base in the area by creating a pipeline of healthcare professionals ready to enter the workforce. Ascension St. John Jane Phillips continues to be a vital partner in offering employment opportunities and top-tier training opportunities to nursing students at Tri County Tech.

 

Appearing on COMMUNITY CONNECTION, Dr. Tammy Strobel, President and CEO of Tri County Tech, announced the physical expansion of the school's nursing program and the creation of a simulation laboratory.
