WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – Dr. Monty Sullivan, the president of the North Carolina Community College System, toured Cape Fear Community College’s Health and Human Services Building on Tuesday.
The visit highlighted efforts to train and retain health workers in the region.
“We cannot sustain the population that we have, nor can we continue to see additional retirees show up here without the health care system that is needed,” Dr. Sullivan said. “So what is Cape Fear Community College doing? Doubling its efforts to put more nurses into classrooms but then make sure that they are at the bedside when the time comes.”
The presidents of Brunswick Community College and Southeastern Community College also attended the tour.
