NLC Cares — Allied Health Program Planning
NLC Cares is an initiative led by Northern Lights College to develop new Allied Health programming for Northern BC. NLC currently offers successful health care assistant, nursing, and social work programs at the college. NLC Cares Allied Health Program Planning aims to expand allied health programs at the certificate and diploma level to support the health care system in Northern BC. External consultation sessions are underway to collect input and data on future programming needs. These sessions have included a range of health care professionals, community resources, elected officials, Indigenous leaders, school district representatives, NLC faculty/staff, and prospective students.
NLC Cares was made possible by a $450,000 grant from the Peace River Regional District’s (PRRD) Health Related Services Grant-in-Aid. The goal is to create two to three new training programs for health care professionals by 2026/2027 to serve the needs of Northern BC.
