Minister Nolan Quinn visits HSN

With more than 3,100 learner placements last year and affiliation agreements with more than 50 post-secondary institutions, HSN is helping train the next generation of healthcare workers for Northeastern Ontario.

 

We recently hosted Ontario’s Minister of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security, the Honourable Nolan Quinn, who met with learners and medical students from Cambrian College, Laurentian University, Collège Boréal, and NOSM University.

 

We know that when students train here, they are more likely to build their careers here. This work is made possible through close partnerships with local academic institutions, support from the provincial government, and the generosity of donors, including those who helped create the Labelle Innovation and Learning Centre in 2022.
