Please plan to join the family and friends of the late Jerry Hodge, ’65, and Margaret Hodge as well as elected and appointed officials and university leaders for this special ceremony officially dedicating the Jerry & Margaret Hodge Center for Pharmacy & Rural Health.
The Jerry & Margaret Hodge Center for Pharmacy & Rural Health represents an ambitious vision turned into an inspiring new reality thanks to an innovative public-private partnership.
Generous support from Jerry and Margaret Hodge, combined with meaningful strategic investment from the City of Weatherford and the State of Oklahoma, has equipped SWOSU to construct and open the Hodge Center with the goal of enabling SWOSU’s healthcare programs in nursing and allied health to substantially increase capacity. The Hodge Center project will significantly enhance the university’s pharmacy doctoral program and will also expand the community health services of the renowned SWOSU Center for Rural Health. Additionally, Hodge Center will permit SWOSU to forge more strategic partnerships with other higher education institutions and organizations in furtherance of workforce development and boosting graduates in critical occupations.
