Georgia Highlands College will hold a groundbreaking ceremony next week for the renovation of the Lakeview Healthcare Education Center on the Floyd Campus in Rome.

The event, scheduled for November 6, will highlight GHC’s continued partnership with Atrium Health Floyd and recognize community leaders and legislators who have supported healthcare education in Northwest Georgia.

Speakers will include GHC President Mike Hobbs, Atrium Health Floyd President and CEO Kurt Stuenkel, State Representative Katie Dempsey, State Senator Chuck Hufstetler, as well as GHC healthcare program leaders and students.

The nearly $12 million renovation of the Lakeview Building—home to GHC’s high-performing Nursing and Dental Hygiene programs- was included in Governor Brian Kemp’s most recent slate of strategic investments to expand healthcare education across the state.
