Woman’s Hospital has invested $150,000 to support Southeastern Louisiana University’s College of Nursing and Health Sciences and has named the new Obstetrics Maternal/Newborn Simulation Lab as part of upcoming renovations on the university’s Baton Rouge campus. The school has a long-standing history of producing thousands of highly trained and compassionate nurses and is working to expand the program to attract more students and address the growing shortage of healthcare workers in Louisiana. The $15.5 million renovation will be completed in two phases and will feature new state-of-the-art classrooms, a redesigned auditorium with enhanced distance education capabilities, flexible workspaces, and upgraded simulation labs. womans.org
