Health Services AS

When I first arrived at HCCC as a 'non-traditional' student in Spring 2015, I felt lost and out of place. Here I was, a mom in her mid 30's in classrooms full of young adults and teenagers. I struggled to connect with the younger students until I began my Health Services courses. In the Health Services program, many of the classes had an open dialogue format that allowed me and other students the opportunity to bond and better understand the complexity of healthcare in the U.S. and beyond. All of the professors that I encountered in the program held medical degrees and real-world experience that helped them provide us with theoretical and practical explanations of healthcare, public health, personal wellness, and more. The professors were always willing to help students in any way possible, including academically, professionally, and personally. My experience in this program played an integral part in my decision to stay in higher education and help other students realize their full potential just like my professors did for me.
