Sampson M.
I’ve always known that I wanted to do something medical, it’s something that has always kind of clicked for me and doing manual labor for years kind of starts wearing you out for a little bit. I decided to attend here because I had a friend that studied surgical technology here and she told me it’s a great place, great program and so I signed up and started.
Taliyah R.
My experience with Fortis I can say is a positive experience. I am still in contact with my instructors, I love them dearly and they helped me out my whole entire time here and they are still helping me and I still enjoy coming to see them too.
Brittany D.
I have health benefits now, I’m able to take off and get paid time off so we can go on vacations. I have better hours so I’m able to be with them on the weekends instead of having to work on the weekends and I’m just all around like financially stable and that’s the whole reason why I took this journey is for stability.
