The investment includes $2.5 million for a real-life pediatric nursing training unit at UCF’s Dr. Phillips Nursing Pavilion and $2.5 million for an interdisciplinary research impact fund.
As UCF’s first pediatric health-focused Pegasus Partner, Nemours Children’s Health is helping to address a pediatric workforce shortage and improve the health of children in Central Florida and beyond.
Nemours Children’s Health, one of the nation’s largest multistate pediatric health systems, will invest $2.5 million in pediatric nursing education, training, innovation and research at UCF’s Dr. Phillips Nursing Pavilion.
“We are thankful for Nemours Children’s continued partnership and support of pediatric nursing excellence at UCF,” says UCF College of Nursing Dean Mary Lou Sole. “By leveraging our collective strengths, together we will grow a pediatric nursing workforce of Knight nurses to care for children in our community, innovate pediatric clinical practices and positively impact children’s health for generations to come.”
