UPDATE: Due to inclement weather, Community and Industry Night at the Fred, originally scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 12, has been rescheduled to Thursday, Feb. 13. All event details, including game times, remain the same.
State Fair Community College (SFCC) on Wednesday, Feb. 12, will recognize the people who work to keep our communities healthy at Healthcare Night at the Fred, in the Fred E. Davis Multipurpose Center on the SFCC Sedalia campus during a NJCAA Region 16 basketball matchup with Crowder and Missouri State University-West Plains. The men’s and women’s games are at 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
This event celebrates the healthcare industry and highlights SFCC programs that support the industry. People who work in Healthcare and their families will receive free tickets to the games and a concession stand voucher. During breaks during the games, SFCC will highlight the significance of this work, and will recognize faculty and students in Health Science programs.
“We are so fortunate to have strong hospitals and great healthcare throughout our service region,” said SFCC President Dr. Brent Bates. “SFCC is proud to support regional healthcare by providing trained nurses and technicians.”
SFCC has 15 Health Science training or certification programs, including Behavioral Health, Community Health Worker, Dental Hygiene, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Health Information Technology, Medical Assisting, Medical Lab Technician, Nurse Aid/Certified Medication Technician, Nursing, Occupational Therapy Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, Phlebotomy, Radiologic Technology and Surgical Technology. According to registerednursing.org, the SFCC Nursing program has been recognized as the best in the state and one of the best in the Midwest.
SFCC staff have contacted people who work in Healthcare to arrange for the free tickets, but if you would like to make sure your group is on the list, contact the president’s office at 660.596.7251 or loesterly@sfccmo.edu.
