Former Chipola Player Adam Duvall Leads Braves to World Series Title

Former Chipola player Adam Duvall helped the Braves to a 7-0 win to capture the 2021 World Series title on Nov. 2.
Duvall hit a grand slam in the first inning of game 5; the first, 1st inning slam since 1960. Duvall joins Patrick Corbin as the
only other Chipola player to win a World Series ring. Corbin was the winning pitcher In Game 7 of the 2019 World Series.

Duvall shined in the 2021 National League Championship series over the Dodgers going 2 for 5 in game three. In game
four, he hit a two-run homer and robbed the Dodgers of a home run.

Duvall was one of the top hitters in the National League this season with a
career-high 38 home runs and leading the National League with 113 RBI this
season.

Chipola baseball coach Jeff Johnson says, “We’re extremely of proud of Adam.
He’s a great player and good person.”

Duvall played second at Chipola in 2008 where he led the Indians to a state
championship and an appearance in the JUCO World Series. He went on to play
at the University of Louisville. He was an 11th-round pick of the Giants (348th
overall) in the 2010 MLB draft.

Duvall also spent time with the Giants, Reds, and Marlins. He made his MLB
debut in 2014. He was an MLB All-Star in 2016, and the fourth Chipola player
to make the All-Star game, including Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista, Blue Jays
catcher Russell Martin and Nationals pitcher Patrick Corbin.

Chipola Opens Patient Simulation Center
Chipola College officials hosted a Ribbon-Cutting and
Open House for the newly-renovated Simulation Center
in the Health Sciences Division on Nov. 3.
The event included demonstrations of the patient
simulators which are life-like mannequins used to
simulate human medical conditions for education.
Katherine Hayes, Coordinator of Patient Simulation,
says, “There is a need to prepare our students to be
outstanding nurses. This Simulation Center gives them
more experience and hands-on time to apply their
knowledge.”
Students can perform CPR on the simulators and see
the compressions they’re providing with depth and rate.
Students also can listen to heart, lung and bowel sounds. The simulators can be programmed to speak and to simulate various
symptoms. Instructors change vital signs and sounds based on decisions students are making about the patient.

One laboratory and three classrooms were renovated, and eight new patient simulators were purchased to create the
Simulation Center at an approximate cost of $1.1 million. The Center includes seven hospital rooms, two observation rooms,
and two de-briefing rooms with state-of-the-art audio and video capability. The Center also features a live birthing simulator
with infant simulator.

Chipola College offers several Health Science programs, including: the Associate Degree in Nursing (RN), a Bachelor’s
Degree in Nursing (BSN), Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Paramedic and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA).

Simulation at 850-718-2434 or email [email protected]

Jackson Hospital Holds Shadowing Orientation for Chipola Students
Chipola students recently attended a Shadowing Orientation at Jackson Hospital sponsored by Chipola’s Pre-med Society,
Honors Program and the Center for Career and Alumni Development.

Jackson Hospital Clinical Educator, Melissa Rich, talked with students about policies and procedures for shadowing, as
well as job opportunities in healthcare.

Many graduate programs in healthcare require shadowing hours of their applicants.
By shadowing early in their academic careers, Chipola students can take advantage of
the hospital’s proximity and their openness to work with Chipola students. Shadowing
also offers students a chance to get a feel for various positions which can either reinforce
their current educational paths or encourage them to choose new paths.

Belinda Stephens, Chipola Career Center & Alumni Development Coordinator, says,
“We express our sincere appreciation for the Jackson Hospital staff, especially Ronni
Bowen and Melissa Rich, for offering this opportunity for our students during a time of
unprecedented stress in medicine.”

To learn more about healthcare shadowing opportunities at Chipola, contact Belinda
Stephens at 718-2408 or email: [email protected]
