The Pikeville Medical Center (PMC) Project HEART (Healthcare Employment Around Regional Training) initiative started four years ago to combat eastern Kentucky’s nursing staffing shortage. Project HEART bridges many entities that have combined forces to make it easier than ever for someone to train for a career in the health care industry. With millions in financial resources pledged by the dozens of Project HEART collaborators, hundreds of students have already been provided the opportunity to receive financially assisted training and education for sustainable, quality careers in eastern Kentucky.
