Hear From Our Graduates
“I love my job because I’m able to assist patients every day at Broad Top Walk-In Clinic. Every day is always different,
and you’re always gaining new skills. This year was especially trying due to COVID-19, but it was a great feeling knowing that
I was able to assist with helping sick patients and getting them the care they need.”
