The puposes of the Health Science programs are:

We are also excited about the renovation of our Health Science laboratory.
Once this is completed, students will receive additional hands-on experience in a mock clinical setting. This will allow
the students to become familiar with the health care setting, how to operated frequently used equipment, how to complete different
procedures, and many other valuable lessons related to careers in the field of Health Science Technology.
