Sunshine Health, the state’s largest managed care organization, and Broward College, one of the top community colleges within the Florida College System, announced a new partnership that brings free training and certification opportunities to Broward County residents interested in starting a career in healthcare.

Sunshine Health’s $100,000 commitment establishes the Broward College-Sunshine Health Training Center at Sunshine Health’s Lauderhill Welcome Room, creating an additional access point to help equip residents with the skills necessary to enter the healthcare job marketplace. The partnership is the latest venture in  Sunshine Health’s statewide workforce development program, called Sunshine Health Works, which provides pathways to prosperity for communities across the state.

“Sunshine Health is committed to the communities we serve by supporting and investing in resources that address critical community needs,” said Nathan Landsbaum, CEO of Sunshine Health. “This collaboration with Broward College allows residents to gain job skills and creates opportunities for them to have a successful future.”

The training center launched on May 22 with representatives from Sunshine Health, Broward College and the City of Lauderhill. Programs in high-demand fields such as electronic medical records, health career core, revenue cycle, and medical administrative assistant will begin next month.
