Vital to Siouxland. Today, and tomorrow.

Demand for health care professionals is on the rise, as shortages in expert providers compromises quality of care and puts patients at risk. The Department of Health and Human Services projects that the current nursing shortage is expected to more than double by 2010, due to a 40% increase in demand.

So what’s vital to Siouxland today and tomorrow? Competent and compassionate health care professionals. The kind we’re educating at St. Luke’s College.
