For A Future in Healthcare
Today, the nursing shortage problem spreads across the country, and in Tahoe there are no exceptions. However, at Barton Memorial Hospital we are preparing for tomorrow. Beginning with children and working our way up, we offer numerous programs that introduce and educate our community about healthcare and its employment opportunities. The following programs are offered through Barton Memorial Hospital.
