February 13, 2024 Group Watch: AL School Of Healthcare Sciences Foundation Receives Funding
The Alabama School of Healthcare Sciences Foundation, in partnership with the Alabama Department of Education and Whitfield Regional Hospital, has received a $26.4 million investment from Bloomberg Philanthropies to help fund the proposed Alabama School of Healthcare Sciences. The funding is contingent on approval of the school by the Alabama Legislature. The development of this residential high school, which intends to prepare students from across the state for careers in the healthcare industry while addressing rural education and healthcare workforce development needs, has been supported by the University of Alabama at Birmingham and a consortium of Alabama health systems, as well as state two- and four-year colleges and universities. The school is proposed to be open in 2026 in Demopolis and serve between 85-100 students in each graduating class.
