The School of Nursing and Health Sciences has moved to new facilities in St. Benilde Tower on West Campus. St. Benilde Tower, originally Wister Tower of the Germantown Hospital Campus acquired by La Salle in the summer of 2007, has been renovated with new classrooms, labs, and offices. Classes began in the new facility in the spring 2008 semester. To see La Salle’s campus footprint, depicting the new facility's location in relation to the rest of the campus, click here.
Welcome to the School of Nursing and Health Sciences at La Salle University.
The administrators and faculty of the first academic nursing program offered at La Salle greeted students for the first time in the fall 1980. Speech-Language-Hearing Science Programs presented courses initially during the fall 2000 and the Nutrition Program, spring 2000, the latter having moved from the School of Arts and Sciences to the School of Nursing and Health Sciences. Together faculty, staff, and administrators have built and revised our programs and helped students learn the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of our respective health care professions. We continue to celebrate our students and their many accomplishments. We also commit ourselves to serving the public by educating undergraduate, graduate, and certificate students to provide safe, quality health care services.
We have now settled in to St. Benilde Tower. We continue to watch the progress of the renovations on West Campus. All of us celebrate the bridge over Wister Street and watched as the bridge was lowered into position.
We are looking forward to the start of new degree programs and expanded space. We are in the process of developing the Speech-Language-Hearing Science clinic spaces and look forward some time in the future to the Nutrition Program’s Food Laboratory and Center for Nutrition Policy and Community Programs and the move of the la Salle Neighborhood Nursing Center to West Campus.
We hope our students are enjoying their educational experiences. We offer programs at Main and Bucks County campuses, Abington Memorial Hospital, and Pennsylvania Hospital. We are grateful to our partners and to the members of our advisory boards for the wisdom that they bring our programs.
