Dr Mercado is a first-generation Hispanic community college graduate. Her passion
is for community college students and their families by providing pathways to affordable educational opportunities so that they may be successful in our local communities. The Health Sciences Division prepares students for careers in Health Care related fields. We offer a variety of Certificate and Associate Degree Programs that provide students direct entry into the growing Health Care industry. We have many students that are
