On August 29, the newest graduates of RCC’s Patient Care Technician program gathered with family and friends at the Glenns Campus to celebrate all they’ve accomplished.

Thanks to Adjunct Faculty Suzanne Nester and Program Head Dr. Carrie Lewis, the cohort was able to mark this important moment with a special pinning and graduation celebration.

The graduates confirmed their commitment to the field by reading the Patient Care Technician pledge. One by one, each student was pinned by their instructor—a symbolic moment recognizing their hard work, dedication, and readiness to begin the next chapter of their healthcare careers.

Then it was time to celebrate! Graduates, family and friends enjoyed cake, refreshments and, most importantly, the opportunity to celebrate together.
Congratulations to our newest Patient Care Technicians! We’re proud of you and can’t wait to see the difference you make in the lives of your patients.
