At MCC, we understand that mental health is key to student success. We're honored to be recognized by NAMI and the community!

We are proud to recognize McHenry County College (MeetMcc) as a 2026 Vision of Hope Award recipient at our upcoming Vision of Hope Gala!

The Vision of Hope Award honors individuals and organizations whose actions have advanced care, treatment, and awareness for those living with mental health conditions and their families.

Through its commitment to student well-being, mental health awareness, and community partnership, McHenry County College continues to play a vital role in supporting mental health in our community.

Join us in celebrating McHenry County College, along with fellow 2026 Vision of Hope recipients Sarah Rausch, Mental Health Court Clinician for the 22nd Judicial Circuit, and the McHenry County Veterans Assistance Commission (VAC) at our Vision of Hope Gala on Friday, May 8.

We loved hosting Huntley High School Medical Academy students at McHenry County College last Friday for a day of hands-on healthcare exploration! 🩺🚑

Students participated in interactive sessions across EMS, Fire Science, Nursing, Radiology, Sonography, Respiratory Therapy, Career Sparks, and the University Center—getting a real look at exciting career pathways.

Thanks to all who made it a great day—and to the students for bringing the energy!
