Terre Haute, In. Union Health Foundation made a big announcement Tuesday… It plans to give $1 million to Ivy Tech Community College Terre Haute, the largest gift in campus history, to expand its School of Nursing enrollment capacity. Currently, 576 Ivy Tech graduates are employed by Union Health, 19% of the hospital’s total staff. Yet there is still a wide gap in skilled workers and workforce needs, and that gap is not just local… it’s statewide. The gift is aimed at increasing both student success and capacity, and it will allow Ivy Tech to produce more nurses by encouraging nursing students through scholarships.
