Accomplishments

We are especially proud of our Health Services Administration students who were admitted and enrolled in Lehman College 4 + 1 BS to MPH with the CUNY School of Public Health.

HEAT got the green light to offer the Nursing Home Certificate as an official certification program. This allows students to take the nursing home administration courses to establish eligibility for the State of New York Internship program which will lead to candidacy for the Nursing Home Administration Examination.
