Please join the Griffin Hospital School of Allied Health Careers in congratulating Sharon Costa, one of our partners at Middlesex Hospital on the successful completion of her first Phlebotomy Hybrid class.
She and her students achieved an incredible 100% pass rate with an overall class average of 92%—an amazing accomplishment and a reflection of the time, energy, and dedication she put into making this first cohort a success.
We're excited to keep the momentum going as the next cohort gets underway in September, and we can't wait to see the program continue to grow.
Congratulations, Sharon, on a fantastic first class, and thank you for everything you've done to help make this partnership such a success!
