Lewiston, N.Y.-based Niagara University and Niagara Falls (N.Y.) Memorial Medical Center plan to collaborate on a joint venture to promote economic growth, enhance workforce development and expand medical tourism opportunities, according to Niagara Frontier Publications.
According to the agreement, both institutions will work closely with Niagara University's Niagara Global Tourism Institute to develop worldwide strategies to expand their economic impact.
The organizations will also create new joint workforce development programs to expand training opportunities beyond the university's campus to local communities that can benefit from education and training programs.
The institutions plan to develop additional economic opportunities that will encourage Niagara University students to remain in the region after they graduate and take advantage of new career opportunities in healthcare and other fields.
