As our population ages and our health care workforce diminishes, nurses and advanced practitioners are becoming ever more central to the health and well-being of our community."
Marywood University further expanded its deep commitment to health sciences during the dedication of the Pascucci Family Health Sciences Pavilion, a transformative addition to the Keith J. O’Neill Center for Healthy Families and a cornerstone of the EMPOWER Campaign on Monday, June 17, 2024 at a 10 a.m. ceremony in The Colonels Lorraine and Richard Breen Atrium. The $11.5 million Pascucci Family Health Sciences Pavilion is a realization of Marywood’s commitment to providing state-of-the-art facilities for education in the health sciences. Generously supported by the Pascucci Family and other dedicated donors, this new space elevates the learning experience of future healthcare professionals and contributes to the University’s mission of fostering excellence in education.
