Salina Resources
Salina Facilities
Salina's Health Education Center is located in downtown Salina, five blocks north of the Salina Regional Health Center campus.
About the Health Education Center
Our building is home to the schools of Medicine and Nursing. Formerly a bank, the building lent itself to adaptation for a 56,000-square-foot educational space.
A Downtown Location
The downtown location places the school in the center of a high-visibility area of Salina that offers restaurants, arts and entertainment attractions and recreation centers.
Building Features
The building features classrooms for both schools, study areas, simulation and procedural skills labs, clinical skills exam rooms, faculty and staff offices, meeting rooms, and a student lounge and fitness room.
Lactation Resources
Available Space and Amenities
Lactation breaks can be physically and emotionally taxing for the individual. Creating an optimal environment helps to minimize the stress and burden for new parents that have set this goal for the health of their families.
Lactation rooms are located throughout our campuses in Kansas City, Salina and Wichita. Through a reciprocal agreement with our health system partners, space is also available in The University of Kansas Hospital. Rooms are private and located throughout campus. KU Medical Center strives to offer lactation spaces that meet the gold standard, with features including:
- Chair, table and outlets in updated rooms
- Lamp, fan, artwork and mirror
- Microwave and refrigeration available in-room or nearby (use at own risk for temporarily storing milk or other food), or cold storage by request to well-being@kumc.edu
- Cleaning supplies
Simulation Spaces
The use of simulation provides an opportunity for both medical and nursing students 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.
Teaching and Technology
Students attending on the Salina campus receive the same curriculum as their peers enrolled in the same programs on the Kansas City or Wichita campuses. The schools of Medicine and Nursing utilize both on-site faculty as well as virtual conferencing platforms to connect students and faculty between campuses for classes and meetings.
