22 | Cedarville Magazine The HSC Is Making a Difference Having been part of the pharmacy program before and after the HSC, I can definitely see how this building is helping me become a better pharmacist. This building is equipped with a vast amount of technology. Having access to the latest information in our learning nowwill help us provide the best care for our patients in the future. Cedarville wouldn’t be what it is without generous alumni and donors who give to all the spectacular programs we have here. I hope they understand the difference they are making in students’ lives. I am forever grateful for their influence in my life, even if they didn’t know they were personally impacting me. Molly Turner ’13, Pharm.D. ’16 Pharmacy “Your patient is a 54-year-old male with diabetes who was brought in with high blood sugar.”These are my instructions as I enter our newHSC high-simulation lab. Although my “patient” is a dummy, I am expected to respond and interact as though this is a real-life situation. My dummy, though, is smarter than it looks. It has a voice (or the voice of an instructor). It can cry, sweat, “breathe,” and have a seizure. I can look at operating bedside monitors, call a doctor, page an assistant, and get medications out of a med drawer. Cedarville’s new state-of-the-art equipment is truly an asset to the program. It allows students to learn in a different setting outside of the classroom, preparing us for real-life situations. I have been blessed to witness the transformation of the HSC from start to finish, and I am even more blessed to be able to use it. Amanda Custer ’14 Nursing We appreciate the many alumni, parents, friends, corporations, and foundations that gave to make the new Health Sciences Center (HSC) a reality. The Schools of Nursing and Pharmacy moved into their new home in the fall of 2012, and students are already realizing the return on your generous investment. Thank You for Your Support!
