We are very proud to recognize Andrea Cathey and her wonderful contributions to the nursing profession!

DACC is so proud of its students, staff, and faculty. We have to let you know about some recognition one of our Nursing professors received!

Andrea Cathey has been recognized for her volunteerism in helping expecting moms. For years, Cathey has volunteered and provided her expertise at High Desert Women’s Center. Cathey was recognized as the center’s Sunday Spotlight for her impact and advocacy for women and families in our community.

She's not only a registered nurse, but also a lactation consultant, DACC professor, and member of the Medical Advisory Board. Congrats, Andrea!

Kicking off the new semester with great energy! ⭐️

Our FHP (Future Healthcare Professionals) Student Club did a great job for today's orientation icebreaker - The Toilet Paper PPE Challenge. It was a test of teamwork to see who could design the best PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) using only toilet paper. Resourcefulness at it's best! 😆

Wishing all our students a fantastic and successful semester! 🩺
