WCON will move to Duke Health’s Interprofessional Education and Care Center and will “co-locate” with the Duke University School of Nursing and the Duke Health Clinical Education and Professional Development team, according to a Feb. 26 news release.

The relocation aims to improve the academic and clinical nursing education connections with Duke Health and promote a stronger nursing workforce.

“WCON is relocating to ensure we offer our students the best facilities and learning experience,” said Yolanda Neal, DNP, RN, president of Watts College of Nursing, said in the release. “This move expands opportunities for our students and faculty, supports our strategic goal to increase enrollment and implement new programs, and enhances collaboration between Watts, Duke’s nursing school and Duke Health.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
