Allied Health Programs
Allied Health Programs
North Central Washington has a growing need for qualified health care workers in many fields. Wenatchee Valley College is responding to this need for Allied Health professionals in the region by expanding the capacity of some programs. For example, in spring 2004, a class of 36 nursing students was added at the Wenatchee campus, in addition to more than 150 students who are currently enrolled districtwide. In this alternate start program, students will graduate in December rather than June, helping to meet the year-round demand for nurses.

Employment in the chemical dependency counseling field is steadily growing. Social service, health and corrections agencies require staff members to obtain training and certification in this field.

Completion of the two-year program entitles the student to take the licensure examination for registered nursing (RN).
