They each have over 30 years of experience in health care and have committed to provide quality education and training to diverse cultures.
The College is situated at Top Road, Brown’s Town in the rural Parish of ST Ann, and is well equipped to serve the local and national population of Jamaica, as it has a modern and technologically prepared environment, with academic staff and a reputation of caring for the Community in which it is located.
