Congratulations to the latest graduating class from Meridian West Central College, celebrated on Friday, April 24 at the Unitarian Universalists of Sarasota. These graduates are stepping into essential roles in our community, bringing compassion, skill, and dedication to the healthcare field.

We’re proud to support their journey and can’t wait to see the difference they’ll make.
