Harrison, Arkansas August 10, 2023 – In a significant step towards promoting healthcare education and workforce development in our community, North Arkansas Regional Medical Center (NARMC) has generously donated a range of hospital equipment to Harrison High School's new Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program. The donation includes a variety of essential medical equipment, such as Hospital beds, wheelchairs, bedside commode, walker, hampers and supplies for daily patient care. This contribution aims to enhance the learning experience of students enrolled in Harrison High School's CNA program by providing them with hands-on access to authentic hospital equipment. "We are thrilled to donate to Harrison High School in support of their new CNA program"; said Donna Boehm, NARMC Chief Nursing Officer. "By providing students with access to real-world medical equipment, we hope to foster a deeper understanding of patient care and help prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals." The CNA program at Harrison High School plays a vital role in introducing students to the fundamentals of patient care and healthcare ethics. With the addition of the donated equipment, students will have the opportunity to develop practical skills that closely mirror those used in a hospital setting. “Any time schools implement a new program of study, there are huge costs associated with materials, curriculum and supplies. NARMC took away this obstacle for HHS by providing multiple items to ensure our CNA students can learn at the highest level without a financial barrier to meet their supply needs”, stated Jay Parker, Harrison High School Principal. “We are excited to be working with Harrison High School to deliver the CNA program and appreciate the donation from NARMC that is helping make this possible” said Angie Moix, CNA Program Director. The collaboration between NARMC, North Arkansas College, and Harrison High School exemplifies the dedication these organizations have to the betterment of our community through education and healthcare initiatives.
