Henry County dedicates its own Ivy Tech campus

Today, she is teaching the class in the college’s new Henry County Campus on the southside.

“We had one room at Pritchett’s that we had to share with nursing and CNA (certified nursing assistant) classes,” Hopson said after a patriotic and prayerful ceremony dedicating the new building Wednesday night. “The room had a closet. Every day, we had to pack up the ventilators, the mannequins and other equipment and put it back in the closet. We spent so much time setting up the equipment and putting it back. We would box up the mannequins. I’d be putting him back together again and say, ‘Where’s his leg?’ We didn’t have computers. We didn’t have almost anything we needed.”
