Two operating rooms at @MerrimackHealth Haverhill Hospital that had been closed are now hands-on classrooms and labs ⬇️
Yesterday, NECC and Merrimack Health, along with dozens of community leaders, cut the ribbon on the space that will train the next generation of surgical technologists.
Our new Surgical Technology Associate Degree is the college’s first degree in the apprenticeship model. Students learn in the classroom and in a working hospital, and they earn both wages and college credit along the way. Graduates will be eligible to sit for the Massachusetts certification exam required for employment as a surgical technologist.
Surgical technologists support surgeons and the whole care team before, during, and after procedures. The Commonwealth needs more of them, and this program builds that local pipeline.
Our first cohort started this fall. This is just the beginning of what education, healthcare, and community partners can build together 💫

Booklovers, local historians, and community members: join us on Tuesday 10/27 for a discussion with Professor Llana Barber, author of "Latino City" 💫
We will explore the history, resilience, and future of Lawrence’s Latino community. Drawing on her award-winning book Latino City: Immigration and Urban Crisis in Lawrence, Massachusetts, 1945–2000, Professor Llana Barber traces how Latino immigrants, particularly from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, revitalized Lawrence amid deindustrialization, disinvestment, and suburban flight, transforming it into one of New England’s first Latino-majority cities.
Looking forward, she explores what this history teaches us about building an equitable future for Lawrence, one in which the community’s resilience, culture, and civic leadership drive economic opportunity and inclusive growth.
