LBW, Andalusia Health, and CCS collaborate in the health career tech pathways

Andalusia Health has announced an alliance together with Lurleen B. Wallace Community College and Covington County Schools to create an innovative healthcare career technology pathway that is geared towards seniors.

The patient care Technician (PCT) education program designed for seniors in high school will start in the month of January 2024. The program will be taught over a semester. It will not just educate students to become an individual Patient Care Technician but will also expose them to a wide range of medical facilities and techniques through guest lecturers as well as field trips to a range of healthcare professions. Students will also be CPR certified in the course. The course is taught by Straughn School. Upon completion the students will be able to take an exam with the National Healthcare Association certification exam. The course’s curriculum is offered by LBWCC and is instructed by an instructor of Andalusia Health. After successful completion of the course, students interested will be granted a scholarship from Andalusia Health to attend LBW Community College and will be given prior consideration for employment in Andalusia Health.

A ceremony to signify the contract was held on Dec. 14. 14 in the hospital of Andalusia Health. Attending were Covington County School Superintendent Shannon Driver, Andalusia Health CEO, Vickie Demers, LBW President Dr. Brock Kelley, Andalusia Health PCT teacher, Anyiah Florence as well as Director of Workforce, Chad Sutton.

“We are aware of the value of an excellent healthcare provider within our neighborhood,” said LBW President Dr. Brock Kelley. “We believe in helping students get ready for careers in the healthcare sector and then ultimately earn an education at LBW through one of our medical pathways. .”

“We are delighted to collaborate with LBW to train our next batch of health professionals and nurses within our own community. This is just the start of working together with the community in order to help students in their teens discover careers in health care and provide them with the chance to make a difference. The health care industry is expanding, which gives Covington County kids the chance to benefit from the future growth of the field.” Andalusia Health CEO Vickie Demers stated.
