In response to the question: "Are Kentuckys people, communities, and economy benefiting?"— the nursing degree programs both have a direct impact on the local economy. Specific outreach programs are being developed to assist in attracting students who can enter the work force to help ease the pressure in the health fields resulting from the nursing shortage. Increases in KSUs ability to graduate more nursing students helps to stimulate the economic development for the region, while serving the needs of the community. KSUs Action Plan indicates efforts of being stewards in offering education services to meet the economic and community needs of the designated service area and beyond.
The current and enhanced plans for this facility will have an impact on the local economy in support of the community by attracting and graduating more students to serve the specific health care needs of the community. And finally, the specialized nature of this facility potentially has the ability to offer specific benefits for outreach and assistance for the local and State governmental community. Academic research programs will offer assistance to the County and state governmental officials in their efforts to lure new industries to the region and state. This assistance may take the form of developing relevant training for the particular industry. This project supports the institutions mission and is a high institutional priority.
