Project

In the midst of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, opportunities to increase the skilled healthcare workforce are particularly critical. Given this, Los Angeles County’s College of Nursing & Allied Health (CONAH) is now looking to expand the current program to also offer a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. In order to support improved health outcomes for Los Angeles residents, DHS will partner with FUSE to manage the onboarding of the BSN program and additional allied health programs at CONAH.
