Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (MGCCC) has opened a new health care education facility on the Gulf Coast that officials hope will not only add to students’ education, but also assist in workforce development and better patient outcomes, according to an article in the Missisippi Business Journal.

While health care simulation facilities are already available on the coast, MGCCC’s center is the first that is open for public assess.

A little over a year in the making, the Healthcare Simulation Center is roughly 5,000-square-foot simulated four-bed hospital that includes an emergency department/triage area with ambulance bay, obstetric/pediatric patient room, intensive care/critical care patient room, medical-surgical patient room, nursing station and six debriefing locations. Those utilizing the center have access to a large 50-seat classroom, two computer classrooms and several smaller 10- to 20-seat classrooms, according to the article.

The Healthcare Simulation Center is available for use by MGCCC students and faculty, and is also open to community partners and the public as a venue for training and education.
