Health Academy in Gelnhausen: A milestone for nursing training!

Gelnhausen, Deutschland - In Gelnhausen, the district council of the Main-Kinzig district has set the course for the establishment of a new health academy with a clear decision. The decision, which is important for the region, was already prepared in 2018 and provides for a new building to train up to 900 trainees in the nursing and health sector. The academy is built on the site of the educational partners and includes a five -story building and a parking garage. The estimated costs amount to around 20 million euros, which are financed by reconciliation and loans, as Primavera24

The new "Main-Kinzig Academy for Health and Care" was also founded as a non-profit subsidiary of the district, which will be put into operation on January 1, 2023. In addition to nursing training, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy are also trained. The first construction project is planned for March 2024, so that construction work can soon be started, such as the Fuldaer Zeitung indicated. This academy is a crucial step to cover the increasing need for skilled workers in the region, while the total costs due to rising interest and construction prices could possibly be higher than originally planned.

The district council sees the institution as a central contribution to securing health care in the region, despite the already expressed criticism of the delays in the construction process. Those responsible emphasize the complexity of the project and the aggravating conditions through Corona pandemic. The foundation of the academy offers the opportunity to improve the training standards in the health sector and to counteract the urgent shortage of skilled workers.
