Saint Joseph’s Medical Center in Yonkers and the College of Mount Saint Vincent in the Riverdale section of the Bronx announced the naming of the Saint Joseph’s School of Nursing at the college.
The new partnership will work to develop nursing education initiatives at the Mount, including expanded research and clinical opportunities, student scholarships, and support for faculty. Saint Joseph’s School of Nursing students who commit to full-time employment at Saint Joseph’s Medical Center for no less than five years upon graduation will have access to $25,000 in loan repayment opportunities.
“Mount Saint Vincent has been training caring, competent nurses for decades—first in partnership with St. Vincent’s Hospital School of Nursing, and now through the College’s own program that has consistently graduated some of New York’s best nursing professionals since the program resumed in 1975,” said Mount President Susan R. Burns. “We are so grateful for the support of Saint Joseph’s and their commitment to ensuring skilled nurses will be available when and where we need them—today, tomorrow, and in the years to come.”
