Trinity Valley Community College acquired a dilapidated hospital from the city of Terrell, Texas, for $1 with a goal of revitalizing it into a health science center that supports rural nursing education. Its location along the main highway serves as a beacon for new development. The college has partnered with the local school district to introduce high school students to health professions. The center offers advanced medical education spaces such as high-fidelity simulation suites, mock operating rooms, virtual reality ambulance trauma simulators, procedural skills rooms and a high-capacity active learning classroom.
