“I’ll always be a proud Hanna alum; I’m committed to staying involved and connected with the community that helped shape my future and continues to positively impact my life.”
~Chandler G., 2015 Graduate
Completing my Patient Care Tech certification at Pima Medical Institute was a game-changer. Despite
initial fears about phlebotomy and IVs due to unsteady hands, I got better all the time with practice. My clinical rotation in the ER at Tempe St. Luke’s Hospital boosted my confidence tremendously.
After a year as a hospice aide, I work as a Patient Care Tech in the ICU at a level-one trauma center. The critical care environment is incredibly rewarding. I’m excited to start my Bachelor’s in Nursing at Pima Medical Institute this fall, and I dream of eventually becoming an MD or specializing in emergency medicine.
But my journey began earlier, at Hanna. They taught me crucial life skills like maintaining a household and developing social abilities. I’m deeply grateful for their continued support since graduating, including the opportunity to apply for a higher education scholarship. I’ll always be a proud Hanna alum; I’m committed to staying involved and connected with the community that helped shape my future and continues to positively impact my life.
