The Allied Heath Division of VIDA was created on September 2002 with the vision of narrowing the gap on the nursing shortage. With an increasing demand for health and medical professionals nation wide, VIDA created the Rio Grande Valley Allied Health Alliance. In an effort to respond to the nursing shortage VIDA also developed a career pathway that offered up ward mobility to existing individuals already in the medical field needing very little training to attain a nursing degree or a degree into another occupation experiencing the same shortage.
The Allied Health Division of VIDA has sincere and caring counselors waiting to speak with anyone aspiring to become a health and medical professional in one of the many allied health fields sponsored by VIDA. We’ll see you at our next orientation. (link to VIDA orientation).
