ACC Celebrates Health Innovation Center Phase One Completion

Arapahoe Community College (ACC) celebrated the completion of the first phase of its Health Innovation Center with healthcare and education leaders, state and county officials, donors, civic and industry partners, and ACC students and employees on Monday afternoon, October 7, at the Littleton Campus.

The Health Innovation Center’s simulated education spaces are used across all of ACC’s healthcare programs to improve functional collaboration between disciplines while preparing students to better serve patients. This expansion of healthcare programming is central to ACC’s mission to provide innovative and responsive educational and economic opportunities.

“Our Health Innovation Center was developed to expand critical programming and address growing healthcare industry workforce needs,” said ACC President Stephanie J. Fujii, Ph.D. “ACC’s simulated and active-learning experiences are paving the way to increase the pool of well-trained professionals for high-growth, high-demand healthcare jobs in south metro Denver and beyond. At ACC, we are proud to provide the best educational and work-based training opportunities for the healthcare professionals who serve our communities.”
