Elevating Healthcare Programs through MHCC Bond Measure

MHCC is planning to place a bond measure on the May 2025 ballot, seeking voter support to address critical repair issues to campus facilities that have not been updated in 50+ years. If passed, facility improvements would significantly increase our college’s ability to prepare students for high-demand healthcare professions—meeting local workforce needs in nursing, emergency medical technology, and other critical fields where East County is experiencing acute shortages.

Here’s how!

• Establishing a Center for Health Professions

A dedicated space for healthcare training, offering modernized labs and facilities that simulate realworld healthcare environments

• Supporting In-Demand Programs

Enhanced resources will expand enrollment capacity in popular programs, providing the skilled healthcare professionals our community urgently needs.

• Re-Purposing Space Efficiently

By transforming existing spaces, we can develop a state-of-the-art Center for Health Professions without the high costs of new construction, maximizing the impact of every bond dollar.

• Fostering Collaboration and Cross-Disciplinary Learning

New and improved facilities will create dynamic opportunities for students and faculty to work across disciplines, training together in ways that reflect the collaborative nature of modern healthcare.

With these upgrades, our college is committed to strengthening healthcare education, ensuring students are well-prepared, and supporting our community’s health and economic growth. To learn more and provide feedback please visit MHCCBond.com or email bond@mhcc.edu.
