Transition to Healthcare Focus
In late 2015, the METS Center shifted its focus to healthcare education and training when St. Elizabeth Healthcare took over the lease. The transition involved restructuring the facility to support healthcare simulation and skill development.
Despite this shift, Development Rooms A, B, and C continue to serve similar purposes—providing flexible spaces for meetings, workshops, and training. These rooms are now primarily used for healthcare training and professional development, although they remain adaptable for other events. The advanced technology in the rooms supports both healthcare events and other professional gatherings.
