Eastern Arizona College’s Payson campus will hire two full-time instructors to bolster the growing professional training program for nurses, thanks largely to support from the MHA Foundation.
The MHA Foundation has made a three-year, $80,000-per-year donation to the program, hoping to provide opportunities for local students and convince more nursing students to practice in Rim Country once they graduate.
