“I am overjoyed that Memorial Satilla Health has given me this gift. In addition to the invaluable clinical experiences that students already obtain in the hospital, our faculty can offer a more realistic hospital setting for them on campus with this support, according to Dr. Jaime Carter, dean of SGSC’s School of Nursing.
The bulk of newly hired nurses at Memorial Satilla are South Georgia State College alums, per the facility’s hiring records.
