The largest donation in the 46-year history of the Lakeshore Foundation has been made as a kick-starter for the new Center for Health Care Excellence at Lakeshore Technical College.
The donation from Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin health network, Froedtert Holy Family Memorial Hospital, and Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity is part of a $5 million fundraising campaign for the new center, set for groundbreaking in 2023.
The new, 16,000-square-foot addition and remodel to the existing Cleveland campus will benefit 1,500 health care and emergency services students and professionals who will train annually in the new facility.
Lakeshore president Dr. Paul Carlsen said “We cannot overstate the transformational impact this million-dollar gift will have on our college and our community”, and “The new partnership with Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin health network, Froedtert Holy Family Memorial Hospital, and Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity will drive the modernization of our facilities and assist us in significantly increasing the number of health care students we graduate annually.”
The new center is expected to play a key role in meeting the growing demand for graduates from LTC’s nursing, emergency medical techician, radiology, medical assistant, paramedic, fire medic, and other health care and public safety programs.
With this donation, some 79% of the $5 million goal has now been met.
