Hospital-Based Programs

    • HOPE was created to provide equal and diverse opportunities for all local high school, community college, and university students. In a few short years, HOPE has been instrumental in increasing educational opportunities, leadership and professional development for greater than 250 students in our community. The program is designed to provide authentic clinical exposure, insight into research and evidence, opportunity to explore professional goals and expand leadership opportunities regardless of student background. Equipment, supplies, and VCHCA training facilities are used to train students and expose them to new and innovative skills which we hope will inspire them to continue their higher education in health care while building our future workforce.
