SANFORD - Approximately 175 people are the most recent graduates of the Central Carolina Community College's Division of Workforce Development Continuing Education Health and Professional Services Programs, which held its graduation on Dec. 14 at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic & Conference Center.

Danni Xu, a Nurse Aide I and Phlebotomy Technician graduate from Chatham County, was one of the student speakers. An immigrant from China, this is her third year in the U.S. She had this advice for her fellow graduates. "Do not give up. If people say there is no solution, do not be sad. There is support from the instructors, the staff, your classmates, and your friends. You are talented, and you can achieve your goal," she said. "Thank you again to all the people who helped me, my instructors and classmates, college staff. Thank you CCCC -- you make me strong."
Medical Billing and Coding graduate Satara McDade from Harnett County also was a student speaker. "As a mother and wife, I wanted to be able to pursue this goal without missing time with family, so I decided to research community colleges in the area that offered the course. I came across CCCC and not only was the price reasonable, but the time offered was after business hours and online which is exactly what I was looking for," she said. "This course taught me how to take accountability for not only what I learned but retained. I have been able to gain the necessary knowledge to become certified in medical billing and coding."
Jason Haskins, CCCC Director of Health and Professional Services Programs, had the welcoming remarks and led the graduates in the Health Occupations' Pledge.
