SENECA FALLS — The Anatomy Center at the Northeast College of Health Sciences in Seneca Falls has a new imaging-sciences wing that includes sonography and radiological suites.
The college formally opened the wing and suites during a ceremony held on Feb. 13, per its announcement.
The new imaging-sciences facilities provide advanced learning spaces for students in Northeast’s new associate-degree programs in radiologic technology and diagnostic medical sonography, the college said.
The suites are also the latest addition to the Northeast College’s Anatomy Center, which already includes the computerized anatomy resource lab (CARL) containing 3D virtual Anatomage technology, a cadaveric dissection lab, and an observation theater.
The addition of the new sonography and radiologic technology suites provide incoming undergraduate students with the “most advanced” equipment as they study to earn their associate degrees in less than two years, the college said.
Other new Northeast College programs beginning in the fall of 2024 include a bachelor’s degree in health-care administration that can be completed fully online in less than three years, and a massage-therapy certificate program that prepares students to become a licensed massage therapist (LMT). Northeast also anticipates offering a planned future master’s degree in physician-assistant studies.
Michael Mestan, president of the Northeast College of Health Sciences, says the goal is to not only educate, but also inspire the next generation of health-care professionals.
“We are pleased to become a new source of providing a highly skilled workforce for our regional health centers and hospitals, and to help improve the health and wellness of the members of our community,” Mestan said in a statement. “Together let us continue to strive for excellence and make a lasting impact on the future of healthcare, our College and the Finger Lakes region.”
The Northeast College of Health Sciences also anticipates offering a planned future master’s degree in physician-assistant studies.
The college, founded in 1919, currently operates on a 286-acre campus.
