Holyoke Community College will host an open house at its Center for Health Education & Simulation on Wednesday, March 26, for anyone interested in exploring educational programs and careers in health care, human services, and veterinary and animal science.
Visitors to the Health Careers Open House are welcome to tour HCC’s state-of-the-art health education facility from 4 to 6 p.m. and talk to representatives from the college’s programs in nursing (RN and LPN), radiologic technology, veterinary and animal science, medical assisting, Foundations of Health (public health), CNA (certified nursing assistant), medical billing and coding, and human services.
The event is free and open to the public.
