The Foundation for Geriatric Education, a long-term supporter of
Greenville Technical College, has provided a gift of $10,014 that helps
prepare students to use technology now common in hospitals and skilled
nursing centers. Called COWs, the gift has provided for three "computers-on-wheels" that enable students to learn how to
electronically look up records, enter data and communicate with other
medical professionals while in a patient's or resident's room.
The Foundation for Geriatric Education was established by Dr. Carl Adams, the founder of National Health Care Corporation, and is funded by money raised by employees.
