Connors State College and Saint Francis Health System are longtime partners in meeting workforce needs of the local community. Since 2017, the two organizations have been working collaboratively to address the critical necessity for qualified registered nurses in the state of Oklahoma. After completing a $500,000 pledge over five years, Saint Francis Health System remains committed to the success of students in the nursing program and currently provides two instructors for on-site clinical programs at their expense. Saint Francis Health System is an essential partner for CSC to expand the nursing program and provides a valuable service to students.
