HHF ’ s recent contribution will provide scholarship support to health program students as well as funding for innovative equipment to complement student ’ s training in simulated clinical settings .

Due to their generosity and investment in PHSC since 2010 totaling more than $ 1 million , the Foundation recently celebrated the naming of the Hernando Healthcare Foundation Administrative Building at the North Campus in their honor . The dedication ceremony was held on Saturday , March 18 during the North Campus 50th Anniversary event .
We are grateful for the Hernando Healthcare Foundation for their continued support of the College and for advancing high-quality health care in our communities and beyond .
