ANGOLA, IN - Things are continuing to unfold as Cameron Memorial Community Hospital and Trine University are working together to train new professionals to help meet healthcare needs in Steuben County and the surrounding region.

The initial phase in this endeavor includes Trine’s new nursing program on its Angola campus.

Trine University President Dr. Earl Brooks says they felt the best way both parties could serve the community was first through their nursing program.

The program, which recently received approval from the Indiana State Board of Nursing, will create an enhanced educational setting for Trine University students by combining the full experience of on campus learning with an accelerated healthcare environment.

Part of this unique program partnership will include a new, state-of-the-art 32,000-square-foot education and innovation facility on Cameron Memorial Community Hospital’s campus.

Trine is now enrolling students for fall of 2023 and the new facility will break ground this spring.

Groundbreaking is set for June. The state-of-the-art education and innovation center will be an extension of the Cameron Memorial Community Hospital campus that will include simulation and skills labs, numerous classrooms for health education and training, and an auditorium.

This new center will allow for Cameron and Trine University to partner on a new nursing program, creating an enhanced educational setting for students by combining the full experience of on campus learning with an accelerated acclimation to the healthcare environment.
