"Bloomberg's Multi-Million Dollar Investments in Health Care High Schools and Hospital Job Preparation"

Billionaire Mike Bloomberg is investing $250 million to open 10 high schools across the US, including one in Dallas, focused on the health care industry. The schools will offer pathways in areas such as surgical technology and nursing, aiming to address the growing demand for health care talent. The initiative, part of Bloomberg Philanthropies, aims to provide students with training, credentials, and job opportunities in the health care field, offering an alternative path to success for those not interested in a postsecondary degree. The partnership between Baylor Scott & White Health and Uplift Education in Dallas will receive about $14.6 million to establish health care-focused campuses, with plans to open in the fall and in 2025.
