A 44-year-old native of the Philippines who in 2007 suspended her pursuit of higher education in health care at Butler County Community College following the birth of her special-needs daughter is among the first students accepted in a BC3 practical nursing program that debuts today.

Yeng Carle, of Portersville, is the most senior of 10 students in BC3’s latest selective-admissions health care program.

The practical nursing program at BC3 is the only one in Butler County and is a result of a partnership forged in June 2020 with Concordia Lutheran Ministries, a Cabot health care provider.

The 12-month program is intended to prepare graduates for licensure in what is a high-priority occupation in Western Pennsylvania.
