Oviedo Medical Center and HCA Florida Lake Monroe Hospital, as part of HCA Florida Healthcare, recently presented the first $20,000 of a three-year, $60,000 grant to the Foundation for Seminole County Schools to expand healthcare career opportunities for students. The grant will support a new Allied Health Professional Employment Gateway program at the district’s Academy of Healthcare Careers at Seminole High School. This project provides specific support to reduce barriers for program participation, such as funding for transportation to internships and licensure exams for students, so they can quickly attain job-ready professional health certifications including Certified Nursing Assistant, Certified Medical Assistant and Patient Care Technician. The grant is provided by the HCA Healthcare Foundation, which, through its Healthier Tomorrow Fund, is donating $1 million over the next three years to the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations (Consortium) to help fund its Career Pathways to a Healthier Florida program, which aims to help create and expand healthcare career pathways for underserved high school students across the state.
