The Alliance for Health Care Education
As many of you have heard by now, Cox College’s next evolution is the Alliance for Healthcare Education. Missouri State, Ozarks Technical Community College, Springfield Public Schools, and CoxHealth are partnering together to build a powerful educational enterprise that will shape the future of health care in our region for many years to come!
A sizeable portion of Cox North’s campus is not currently being used, but the campus will be renovated and maximized to accommodate students in the Alliance. We’re excited to see how the details of this initiative will continue to take shape in the next year.
