"Nurses are the backbone of the healthcare industry. Without them, there would be no way to meet the healthcare needs of our communities," stated Ernesto Perez, CEO of Dade Medical College. "Our new facility will allow us to train and graduate much needed nurses to meet the growing demand for these frontline heroes in the field of healthcare," he went on to state.
