The grant allows the college to acquire necessary program materials, set up suitable classroom space and eventually hire a program director who will work with current staff.
The program will offer a two-year Associate of Applied Technology degree in surgical technology, with the overall goal of bringing additional specialized healthcare workers to the local community, according to the report.
The grant was proposed through a partnership between PeaceHealth, a Vancouver, Wash.-based nonprofit health system, and the Oregon Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals. It is funded by a hospital education and employment training grant, which is managed by the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges.
