Bresnahan, Jr. | B001327 | bresnahan.house.gov | bresnahan | https://bresnahan.house.gov/media | scraper | NANTICOKE, PA: Today, U.S. Representative Rob Bresnahan, Jr. (PA-08) announced that Luzerne County Community College (LCCC) has been awarded a $475,175 grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to expand its nursing program. This grant comes through the Nurse Education, Practice, Quality and Retention – Workforce Expansion Program, a federal initiative focused on training more nurses to meet the nation’s growing healthcare workforce needs. “Luzerne County Community College is preparing the nurses our hospitals and healthcare providers need right here in Northeastern Pennsylvania,” said Rep. Bresnahan. “This funding will help more students get the training they need, fill good-paying nursing jobs, and strengthen the healthcare workforce our communities rely on every day. I’m proud to support LCCC and the students who will go on to serve families across our region.” LCCC will use the funding to increase enrollment, upgrade training equipment, and provide students with the training and support they need to enter the workforce in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings. | 1 | 2026-09-10T09:25:58Z | 2026-09-10T09:27:09Z |
