ANGOLA, Ind. – Cameron Memorial Community Hospital officials, in partnership with Trine University, today dedicated and cut the ribbon on the new, state-of-the-art education and innovation facility on Cameron Memorial Community Hospital’s campus.

The Joyce and Al Gutstein Education and Innovation Center, announced in March 2023, serves as a key component of Trine’s Associate of Nursing (ASN) program, combining on-campus learning with accelerated acclimation to the healthcare environment.

The 3-story, 32,000-square-foot education and innovation facility includes multiple classrooms, four simulation rooms, two control rooms for the simulation rooms, one debrief room, a ten-bed skills lab, and offices for Trine faculty, Cameron educators, and staff. The facility also includes a recently opened family medicine and pediatrics clinic.

“The Cameron Education and Innovation Center is a great example of the power of collaboration—the idea that when we come together, great things can be achieved,” said Angie Logan, president and CEO, Cameron Memorial Community Hospital. “Collaboration is not merely a buzzword; it is the driving force behind innovation, progress, and success in every aspect of our lives. We have so many partners to thank who’ve played an instrumental role in helping to see this vision closer to reality and we find ourselves fortunate to add such a unique addition within this community”.

“This is an exciting time for Trine University and Cameron Memorial Hospital, as we together forge a partnership that will produce highly qualified, outstanding nurses ready to make an impact on healthcare and in the communities they will serve upon graduation from the program,” added Tony Kline, Ph. D., executive vice president, Trine University. “Through this collaborative initiative, the students will develop as nurses, the university will grow, and the hospital will thrive, all of which will be of benefit to the City of Angola and the surrounding community”.

Beyond the partnership with Trine, Cameron plans to engage with local schools, first responders, and community members, allowing access to this new environment supporting education and hands-on training that will benefit the region. The Joyce and Al Gutstein Education and Innovation Center will further allow students from all over, especially within Steuben County, to well-position themselves to take advantage of the demand for healthcare professionals, find employment within the region, and join a rewarding profession that allows them to directly give back to their community.
