The need to train rural healthcare workers has become increasingly acute during the pandemic. Colorado Mountain College and the CMC Foundation are partnering to construct three state-of-the-art nursing simulation labs. Steamboat’s nursing lab opened on August 26th. Spring Valley’s nursing education center, which hosted a preview open house on September 22nd, will begin construction this winter, and an expansion will be coming to Breckenridge in 2022. The CMC Foundation’s Campaign for Rural Nursing Success, supports the collegewide expansion of CMC’s nursing facilities and programs. Donations are being accepted for all three sites and additional tax incentives are available. Carbondale resident Paul Bushong has offered a $1.5M match for gifts to the campaign. Learn more »

"Sometimes, seeing Leadville again with new eyes helps us to continue to appreciate this one-of-a-kind place.
I have recently had this opportunity due to my transition to Colorado Mountain College after several years at Lake County High School. In my role at the high school, I knew CMC well and felt like an “insider.” Now that I’m working at the college on a daily basis and getting to know CMC as a larger institution serving many of our mountain communities, I have a deeper appreciation for this incredible asset in Leadville. Here are a few things that have stood out."
