- I loved Gateway Community College. All of the teachers were great and very helpful with anything and everything. The health programs are very extensive but if you want to learn and make that effort, you will learn a lot. They offer lots of great programs like nursing, x-ray technicians, etc. I'm glad I went here and would go again if I were to do it over again!

- GCC has an awesome Management of Clinical Information Technology program. I was already working as a healthcare technician, but I want to increase my skills so I can increase my pay. I heard that medical records are going digital and healthcare workers who have computer skills will go further, so I enrolled in this program. This program is teaching me all the skills I need to earn more and work my way up!
