Health and Nursing Programs
History of Nursing at Hartnell College
In December 2019, construction started on a new two-story, 24,000 square-foot Center for Nursing & Health Sciences, situated on a former parking lot at the corner of Alisal Street and Homestead avenue. Later that month, Hartnell College celebrated the groundbreaking ceremony with a $3 million donation from Salinas Valley Health, previously known as Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System. On January 24th, 2022 the new center was finally open to our students and faculty. For more information about Hartnell College Nursing and Health Sciences programs click below.
Dr. Debra Kaczmar Fellowship
The Dr. Debra Kaczmar Fellowship was made possible by a gift from Mary and Pierre Cousineau in honor of Hartnell’s Dean of Nursing and Allied Health. The Fellowship will provide up to $10,000 per year for alumni of the Hartnell Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program to complete a two-year Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree. Recipients will agree to teach for two years in the Hartnell College Nursing Program upon completion of their MSN.
The goal of the Dr. Debra Kaczmar Fellowship is to attract and retain qualified faculty for the Hartnell College Nursing Program, ideally individuals who are from the Salinas Valley and want to contribute to this community.
