Medical Center of Peach County, Navicent Health, along with the Medcen Community Health Foundation, Navicent Health, will present a donation of $24,000.00 to Fort Valley State University on Wednesday, February 25, 2015 at 2:30 p.m., at FVSU’s President’s Conference Room in the C.V. Troup Building, 1005 State University Drive in Fort Valley.

The donation will be used to support FVSU’s athletic training program by underwriting the salaries of two additional athletic trainers who will tend to the healthcare needs of FVSU’s collegiate athletes.

“Fort Valley State University is an integral part of the Peach County community, and their athletic program is indispensible to the success of both the school and our local economy. Athletic trainers, while necessary for any collegiate sports program, are also valued contributors to local healthcare. We at Medical Center of Peach County and Navicent Health are pleased to support this program and the addition of two new trainers,” said Nancy Peed, CEO of MCPC.

“The Medcen Community Health Foundation exists to fund local healthcare initiatives. The donation given to Fort Valley State University is funded by donors who support Medical Center of Peach County, Navicent Health. We are thrilled to pass that support along to these students through the further development of the university’s athletic training program,” said Jack Schwartz, Chief Development Officer for Medcen.
