A Day for Children Offers Entertainment, Health Services for Families

For more than 20 years, some 100,000 residents have attended the university’s Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital – A Day for Children. Crowds returned this year for the event, which offered free and low-cost health and wellness services, education for vision, medical, speech, behavioral, and dental health, as well as physical and occupational therapy.

It’s part of NSU’s comprehensive and longstanding commitment to research, education, and community outreach efforts that recognize healthy children are more likely to grow into healthy adults.

Demonstrating this commitment to children is NSU Health, connecting families to the care they need through a single integrated, coordinated network. NSU Health specializes in pediatric services, providing centers for children’s dental care, eye care, mental health, osteopathic manipulative medicine, and hearing care. Learn more.

Among this year’s participating partners were Broward County Libraries, Boys & Girls Club of Broward County, Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program, Broward Healthy Start Coalition, Broward County Sheriff’s Office, Flamingo Gardens, Florida Children’s Theatre, Hungry Howie’s Pizza, and South Florida Cloggers.

NSU Receives Two Milestone Accreditations

When Nova Southeastern University President and CEO George L. Hanbury II, Ph.D., unveiled NSU’s Vision, Mission, and Core Values, he challenged all the deans to work with their faculty and staff to obtain recognition from their respective accrediting bodies.

 That challenge was not only accepted, but today, we can announce that it has been met, as NSU’s H. Wayne Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship and Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine both earned the highest level of accreditation in their disciplines.

In the case of the H. Wayne Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship, NSU earned accreditation from AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) – the world’s largest business education alliance. With the accreditation, NSU joins the ranks of less than six percent of the world’s schools offering business degree programs. Currently, 980 institutions in 60 countries and territories have earned this prestigious accreditation, which requires a rigorous approval process. READ MORE.

As for the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine, it has been granted full accreditation by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME)—the nationally recognized accrediting authority for medical education programs in the United States and Canada. Achieving this final, essential approval involved a three-step accreditation journey, which included numerous site visits spanning more than six years. The accreditation grants NSU MD the privilege of officially conferring the Doctor of Medicine degree (M.D.) and state licensure upon its student graduates. READ MORE.
