Weeks Medical Center offers this program twice a year, once during the fall semester and once during the spring semester.
Since its inception in 2004, there has been a significant increase in the number of students enrolled in the Allied Health Program at the Hugh Gallen Regional Career and Technical Center. This Allied Health Program is designed to provide junior and senior high school students the opportunity for career certifications and/or college credit course work. The HGCTC serves high schools from Stratford to Lisbon, including Groveton and WMRHS.
