Professional practice is the provision of care in primary, secondary, and tertiary health care settings focusing on the health-illness continuum.

Best practice includes an awareness of cultural, ethical, social, policy, and regulatory environments.

Your Success is Our Priority
The Scholarship really helped me and my family by allowing us to save up more money so we could afford to go to a four year school next year.
Having the scholarship helped me so much. Having more time to study, more time to practice.
I wanted to adjust to college life and not rush into a big school. Lassen College gave me that opportunity with the friendly staff, smaller class sizes, and good programs […]
I think you should attend Lassen College because of the multiple sports that are involved at the school. It’s a small campus and you get really close with other people.
