State-of-the-Art Labs and Equipment

York College's nursing and health professions program facilities offer everything you'll need to become a prepared, knowledgeable, and skilled professional. In Diehl Hall, you'll find the laboratories and clinical training spaces used for our Nursing students. Nearby in the Grumbacher Sport and Fitness Center, the UPMC Exercise Science Lab offers modern equipment for coursework and research in fields like exercise science, rehabilitation science, and movement sciences.

Through these facilities, our Spartans get hands-on practice early in their education — so they're ready to hit the ground running when it's time to start clinical experiences at local hospitals and healthcare organizations.
