In Our Communities

A PASSION FOR GIVING

Providing our students with real-world experiences and exposing them to important issues within our communities is a cornerstone of our reputation. That’s why we don't just train our students to become proficient in their fields. We teach them to become world changers — by helping them master and hone the skills necessary to lead their teams, their fields, and their communities.

We've never been shy about getting involved, and advocate strongly for our students, patients, colleagues, and communities alike. Joining our team, you become part of this amazing legacy of giving.

POSITIVE CHANGE FROM THE INSIDE OUT

Contributing in meaningful ways starts from following your own unique passions. In fact, one of our most beloved benefits is our annual Day of Service on which our associates receive a day off to contribute their time and talents to recognized charities, causes, and not-for-profit organizations that drive positive outcomes. Through our community news, we highlight the diverse volunteer work and community services that our students and instructors take pride in being part of — that way we can all share in the experience.

KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY HEALTHY

We believe in creating opportunities to support the most vulnerable among us and aim to increase access to quality health services in our communities. We do this through things like:

Providing basic health services to veterans
Making oral hygiene care accessible to all
Elevating the importance and accessibility of health screenings

INVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITY

We are passionate about supporting and organizing volunteer events, donations of goods and services, and other opportunities to help the communities surrounding our campuses. We encourage all of our students, faculty and associates to participate in these events as they provide a true sense of connection to the neighborhoods in which we live and work.

EDUCATING OUR COMMUNITY

We are quick to offer the perspective, knowledge, and awareness that drive access to education for all. Some of the ways we achieve this are through:

Teaching youth about careers in healthcare
Supporting continued education through scholarship funds
Making a high school diploma a reality for all

SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY

We strive to help improve the health and wellness of our communities. We do this through:

Contributions to the Satellite Scholars Program which supporting nurses enrolled in advanced education and evidence-based practice or research
Direct sponsorship of two Team USA Olympic Game hopefuls!
Partnering with Nicklaus Children’s Hospital to improve patient outcomes through nursing best practices among other efforts

CREATING BRIGHTER SMILES

One very personal way in which our students can be directly involved in the health of our community is through our free Dental Hygiene Clinic. Dedicated to improving the oral health of the local community, this no-cost resource is also a teaching facility where students are able to share their passion and skills by serving patients in need of dental work, vision help, or health insurance registration.
