About
Olympic College is building a new regional health sciences hub at its Poulsbo Campus, in partnership with the Kitsap County Board of Commissioners and Virginia Mason Franciscan Health (VMFH). Several new healthcare programs have been proposed, with the potential to create space to train many more students for high-demand careers.
The expansion is made possible by generous contributions of $6 million of American Recovery Plan Act funding from Kitsap County Commissioners and $2.5 million from VMFH.
Through a two-phase rollout over the next few years, the project will add an increasing number of skilled healthcare providers to the workforce.
