Who We Are

Lakeside Health Institute was founded to make high-quality healthcare education accessible, especially in underserved communities. Our founder, a CNA, LPN, CPR instructor, and clinical research professional, built the school to overcome the barriers students face, offering flexible, tech-forward education.
Lakeside Health Institute was established as more than just a school, it’s a mission-driven institution designed to create meaningful change in the lives of aspiring healthcare professionals. The vision behind its founding stems from a deep commitment to increasing access to quality healthcare education, especially for individuals in underserved communities.
Built on years of hands-on experience as a CNA, LPN, CPR instructor, and clinical research professional, the founder recognized the challenges many face when trying to enter the healthcare field, whether due to financial barriers, limited resources, or rigid program structures. These real-world insights shaped the belief that education should be accessible, inclusive, and modern.
Lakeside Health Institute is not only focused on access and equity, but also on modernizing the nursing school experience. With the needs of adult learners and working individuals in mind, the institute offers hybrid and accelerated program options. These flexible formats integrate technology, virtual simulation, and streamlined pathways to help students advance their careers without compromising quality or hands-on learning.
The mission of Lakeside Health Institute is to empower individuals through equitable, high-quality education in allied health and nursing. This mission is supported by eight foundational pillars:
