The new equipment will include an adult simulator, a birthing simulator and a baby simulator. Additional funds will be used to update two existing simulators, as well as purchase laptops and software. Combined, these upgrades will allow students to experience the full spectrum of patient care, from wellness to emergency, without leaving the Central Valley.

“CalViva Health is proud to partner with ������Ƶֱ�� on this important investment in the future of our region’s healthcare workforce,” said Jeff Nkansah, CEO of CalViva Health. “The new simulation lab will give students the hands-on training and real-world experience they need to deliver compassionate and high-quality care in our communities. This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to strengthen local healthcare pathways and support the next generation of providers who will care for the families we serve.”

Fresno Pacific’s nursing and health sciences programs are designed to address the Central Valley’s persistent shortage of healthcare professionals. Graduates often remain in the Valley, with many students coming from the very communities they will then serve.

“This generous gift from CalViva Health directly impacts our efforts to train and equip more healthcare workers in the Central Valley,” said ������Ƶֱ�� President, André Stephens, Ph.D. “This investment strengthens our ability to prepare students for meaningful service in the communities where they live and work. We are grateful for CalViva’s trust and support.”
