BVU, Hegg Health Center Connect Through Strategic Partnership
Through a collaboration with Buena Vista University, Hegg Health Center seeks to broaden educational opportunities for employees and their eligible family members.
Buena Vista University (BVU) and Hegg Health Center have entered a Strategic Partnership that mutually benefits both organizations as they strive to strengthen the communities they serve.
This partnership allows for employees of Hegg Health Center, as well as eligible family members of full-time employees, to receive grant funding to lower the overall cost of education while enrolled in classes at BVU’s Storm Lake campus. Partner grant funding also lowers the cost per credit hour for students enrolled in BVU’s convenient online undergraduate programs or the organizational leadership graduate program.
“Hegg is grateful for the partnership through the grants offered by BVU to assist with the expenses of continuing education.”
Hegg Health Center Director of Human Resources Tammy Faber
“Hegg is grateful for the partnership through the grants offered by BVU to assist with the expenses of continuing education,” says Hegg Health Center Director of Human Resources Tammy Faber. “We could not exist without a team of employees at every level, in every position, who are lifelong learners.”
Hegg Health Center, which employs more than 300 people, is an Avera-affiliated, 25-bed acute care facility, offering both inpatient and outpatient services to the residents of Rock Valley and the surrounding area. The hospital, which focuses on providing exceptional service and extraordinary care for every person, also features independent living and nursing home facilities.
“Buena Vista University is thrilled to join forces with Hegg Health Center through our Strategic Partnerships initiative,” says BVU Director of Strategic Partnerships Laura Todd. “We look forward to seeing Hegg Health Center’s employees and their family members strengthen their careers through education while benefiting their communities and the people they serve.”
