THE FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE

In August 2025, PHSC proudly hosted a check presentation and reception honoring the remarkable generosity of Orlando Health. This celebratory event recognized a transformative philanthropic investment that will significantly advance the mission and long-term impact of the Institute for Nursing and Allied Health Advancement at PHSC. Housed at the Porter Campus at Wiregrass Ranch, the Institute was created in response to critical workforce shortages in nursing and allied health professions that continue to affect the region’ s health care system.
The Institute serves as a strategic initiative designed to strengthen the health care workforce pipeline by expanding access to high-quality education, hands-on training and industry-aligned programming. Orlando Health’ s generous support underscores a shared commitment to workforce development, educational excellence and community well-being.
The event featured remarks from Eric Hall, Ed. D., PHSC President; Representative Randy Maggard; Senator Danny Burgess; and Andy Gardiner, Senior Vice President of External Affairs and Community Relations, Orlando Health.
Together, PHSC and Orlando Health are helping to build a resilient, highly skilled health care workforce that will serve the region for generations to come.
