Sullivan University launching associates degree in community health services – The Lane Report
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Sullivan University has recently developed an associate of science (A.S.) degree in community health services and enrollment is expected to begin in the fall of 2019.
“Community health services are about bringing health-related programs and education directly to individuals and groups,” said Anthony Piña, Ed.D., associate provost for Instruction and Online Learning at Sullivan University. “It is a program that will promote general health awareness and help people maintain healthier lifestyles.”
“This allows Sullivan University to offer a more generalized program in community and public health,” Dr. Piña said. “Most of our degrees tend to be highly specialized, especially with our health-related degrees. We are excited to be able to offer a more transfer-friendly and broader scoped degree.”
Sullivan has also announced a new community health services articulation agreement with Eastern Kentucky-based Addiction Recovery Care, Inc., (ARC). ARC operates a network of state-licensed residential and outpatient drug and alcohol abuse treatment centers throughout eastern Kentucky.
