CARTERVILLE — A new statewide report highlights the economic impact of John A. Logan College on the regional economy, according to WSIU News. The college has spent the past several weeks adding to that footprint on multiple fronts.
Deaconess has opened a health clinic on campus, the Southern Illinoisan reports, putting medical care within walking distance of students and staff. Separately, the college's athletics program has been updating its facilities, part of a broader push the paper's college sports coverage has been tracking.
Specific figures from the economic impact report, and details on the clinic's hours and services, were not included in the available reporting. Taken together, though, the moves point to a college leaning further into its role as an anchor institution for the county.
