Terrebonne General Health System (Terrebonne General) announced a partnership with Fletcher Technical Community College (Fletcher) that will expand the nursing and allied health programs on the Fletcher campus. The move to Fletcher will centralize all existing programs into one location, enhancing collaboration and operational efficiency.
The expansion will enable the Division of Nursing and Allied Health to increase its offerings by introducing new programs to better serve students in the bayou region. Programs such as cardiovascular sonography, radiologic technology, ophthalmic assistant, and pharmacy technician will benefit from purpose-built classroom and laboratory space.
“This partnership gives students greater access to valuable healthcare career training in their community, and we are happy to play a large role in making this win-win scenario happen,” said Phyllis Peoples, president and CEO, Terrebonne General Health System.
"Fletcher Technical Community College is excited to partner with Terrebonne General Health System on the renovations to our newly dedicated Allied Health area. Fletcher strives each day to educate and train our community’s workforce. This partnership will allow the College the opportunity to not only enhance the educational experience, but also expand into new fields of study, providing greater career opportunities to our community," said Kristine Strickland, PhD, Chancellor, Fletcher Technical Community College.
