Launched in September 2024, the Healthcare Pathways Consortium is a unique collaboration aimed at expanding opportunities for students pursuing careers in healthcare. The goal of this partnership is to streamline educational pathways and enhance access to healthcare programs, addressing the increasing demand for skilled professionals in the region. Each institution plays a vital role: LSSU offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and pre-med programs; BMCC provides Certified Nurse Aide and future Licensed Practical Nurse training; MyMichigan Sault facilitates clinical experiences and job placement; and SAHS introduces health science courses to inspire early interest in healthcare careers. Together, these initiatives prepare students to succeed in the healthcare sector.

The Healthcare Pathways Consortium emphasizes hands-on learning, mentorship, and accessible education to equip the next generation of healthcare professionals for community service. By establishing a streamlined pathway that begins in high school and extends through college, the Consortium facilitates seamless transitions into employment opportunities at MyMichigan and other local healthcare providers.
