About the Health Education Center

Our building, located in downtown Salina, is home to the schools of Medicine and Nursing. Formerly a bank, the building lent itself to adaptation for a new 56,000-square-foot educational space. 

The Health Education Center is located in downtown Salina.
Curriculum for the schools of Medicine and Nursing utilizes both on-site faculty and interactive televideo (ITV).
The use of simulation offers students opportunities to develop clinical skills, interprofessional collaboration and emergency preparedness.
Simulation events facilitated by faculty create a safe environment for practice and reflection that will benefit future patients and their families.
Our building features classrooms for the schools of Medicine and Nursing, as well as study areas, simulation and clinical skills spaces, and much more.
A fitness room in the Health Education Center is available for students to use.
