Welcome to Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences!

Mary Grace SimcoxWhen I first came to this institution in 1997, it was to serve as the Dean of Nursing for one of a small collection of programs that made up the Lancaster Institute for Health Education. In the blink of an eye, I was serving as the President of an institution that had evolved more than I ever imagined.

Throughout my 20 years as President, I’ve watched this institution grow from a collection of buildings spread throughout downtown Lancaster to a state-of-the-art centralized campus with all our programs and services under one roof. We became accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education in record time, and literally helped write the book on fast-tracking the accreditation process. Our name changed three times, finally settling on Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences in 2014. We’ve transformed from a school that granted diplomas to a College that confers associate, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees. And our enrollment has grown from a few hundred students to nearly 2,000, capturing learners across a wide range of demographics.

All of this growth and change has positioned the College for excellence as we face the coming years and decades. With the best people and facility at our fingertips, Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences represents the pinnacle of health care education. Whether a potential student, proud alumni, partner in education or member of our community, I hope your visit to our website is the next step in a lifelong relationship with PA College.

Sincerely,
Mary Grace Simcox
