Health Care Partners Celebrate Expansion of Radiologic Technology Program


Representatives from Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, Strong Health, ViaHealth, Unity Health System, Preferred Care and IDE Radiology were on campus Thursday, Nov. 11 to celebrate their combined commitment of $624,000 to expand Monroe Community College’s Radiologic Technology program. 

The effort is a direct response to the radiological technologist shortage that is impacting health care in Rochester and across the country. As a result, the number of associate degree graduates from the Radiological Technology program will increase by about 35 percent (i.e., 12 more graduates) per year.
