New campus to open at St. Joseph Medical Center

Concorde Career Colleges, which offers healthcare-centered programs, will be opening a campus at St. Joseph Medical Center. The opening of the new location will provide increased opportunities for students in healthcare that will make more programs easily accessible within the Kansas City metro.

St. Joseph Medical Center will see the addition of new campus for Concorde Career Colleges, Inc., a national leader in healthcare education based in Mission, Kan.

Concorde will open the new Kansas City campus location in St. Joseph, adding to the 16 campuses it currently operates across eight states.

A variety of healthcare programs will be offered at St. Joseph Medical including practical nursing, respiratory therapy, dental hygiene, diagnostic medical and cardiovascular sonography and physical therapy assistant, as well as medical assistant and dental assistant.

The new campus will include a dental clinic open to the public. Concorde will continue to also offer medical assistant, dental assistant, and medical office administration training programs at its current location at 3239 Broadway in Kansas City.

“We are excited to create this new location for our students at the St. Joseph Medical Center,” Concorde CEO Jami Frazier said. “This will further our ability to provide students greater opportunities in a wider offering of healthcare programs easily accessible inside the Kansas City metro.”

Concorde will lease approximately 50,000 square feet in the St. Joseph Medical Building, which it will share with the hospital’s Wound Care service line. The move is expected to occur in mid-2021 after improvements and upgrades are made. About 400 Concorde students have enrolled in programs that will be offered at the new site with growth anticipated in the years to come.
