Students at Florida State University's College of Medicine will soon have a new center at which to apply their knowledge, thanks to a donation from the Naples Community Hospital/North Collier Hospital Healthcare System. The donation-the 28,000-square-foot Isabel Collier Read Building, its underlying land and adjacent parking areas-will house a training program that will focus on rural health in Immokalee, FL, an area that is home to many low income farm and migrant workers.

Once state funding is in place, medical, nursing, social work, and psychology students will take part in the program. The College of Medicine will provide a faculty member on site to supervise the educational program and work with local physicians who will serve as clinical faculty. When the program is fully implemented, students from the medical school's four regional campuses throughout the state will have the opportunity to do rural health rotations in Immokalee.
