HEAL is in the process of reviewing the Student Handbook, Parent Handbook, and Admissions Forms for this program.
HEAL has received two separate reports regarding this school.  One report came from parents who withdrew their child from the program.  And, the other from a former student/graduate.  The two reports are unrelated.
