The Disaster Management and Urban Health Care Program is designed to prepare students to use compassion and health care advocacy as a means to minister to community needs. While this school will focus on ethnic and disenfranchised neighborhoods, the skills learned will be helpful in providing resources to local businesses and students will be able to provide many services in Developing Nations as well. A key component to this program is that students will leave with marketable skills that will provide them with job opportunities in the allied health services field.
