Edison State Opens Troy Campus with Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony
Edison State Community College celebrated the opening of their newest
campus in Troy on Wednesday, August 28, 2019, with a ribbon-cutting
ceremony.
Established to meet the needs of the growing healthcare industry,
Edison State at Troy is positioned to be the center of healthcare
education and training for the Upper Miami Valley.
Edison State at Troy will serve as a partnership hub of healthcare
educators and providers and is designed to operate at the nexus of
healthcare services in the Upper Miami Valley. The location aims to
optimize the pool of workforce talent, maximizes the access of students
to a myriad of career options, and validates the quality of lifestyle
possible without moving out of the area.
Edison State President Dr. Doreen Larson remarked, “expanding the
pipeline of highly skilled healthcare workers is critical to the
success of the regional economy and essential to the quality of life
for families in the Upper Miami Valley and the greater Dayton areas.”
Career pathways featured at the Troy Campus range from a short-term
technical certificate in Phlebotomy, a one-year certificate in Medical
Assisting to an associate degree in Physical Therapy Assisting. At the
request of the City of Troy, Edison State will also provide
EMT/Paramedic course programming to Troy Firefighters at this site.
Through a partnership with Franklin University, students can also
achieve a Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Administration and other
advanced transfer degrees on site in Troy and through distance learning
options.
Franklin University is a premier transfer partner known for their
seamless transfer system and 3+1 agreements with community colleges.
Edison State students will develop career plans that enable up to 94
credits from Edison State to apply to bachelor’s degrees from Franklin
University.
“We’re honored to be partners with Edison State, we’ll continue the
partnership we’ve had for over two decades and we look forward to keep
flourishing and growing into the future,” said Dr. Wendell Seaborn, MBA
Lead Faculty and Professor of Management at Franklin University.
Edison State and Franklin University will share a full-time site
coordinator who will guide students to make the best use of the options
available from both institutions of higher education.
Several key partners supported the establishment of this new learning
facility in Miami County. The Troy Development Council and Upper Valley
Medical Center/Premier Health both have contributed to equipping
classrooms and labs at this campus.
“Upper Valley and Premier Health have long had a history of partnership
with Edison State Community College. The singular reason: Edison State
is the pipeline for qualified, capable, confident healthcare workers.
We’re thrilled with your growth and look forward to your continued
success,” said Tom Parker, President, Upper Valley Medical Center/Chief
Experience Officer, Premier Health
Bruns General Contracting not only partnered with Edison State faculty
to create the new learning spaces, but also contributed labor and
materials to the overall rebranding of the center for Edison State.
Quality healthcare programs require high-quality and state-of-the-art
equipment, labs, and support technology. Two new Physical Therapy
Assisting labs found at the campus will provide optimal hands-on
learning experiences for students, and the mock hospital and home
health care spaces in the facility will allow students from all
programs at Troy to practice their skills in a variety of settings. An
advanced Science Lab will also optimize learning and support
individualized approaches from the professor.
Directly adjacent to the Troy Outpatient center for Dayton Children’s
Hospital, the campus also facilitates access to pediatric experiences
for students and faculty.
