FORT COLLINS — UCHealth has pledged $250,000 to help Front Range Community College build its new Health Care Careers Center in Fort Collins, set to open in the summer of 2020.

The center will consolidate health-care career training for FRCC in one building and ramp up education of nurses and other health-care professionals. The facility will be a two-story, 62,500 square-foot building, with space for about 900 students.

The donation will help fund creation of a nursing skills lab with 12 beds in a simulated hospital environment, equipped with simulated oxygen, suction and IV equipment.
