Experience hands-on learning in a simulated healthcare environment
NSCC’s Bertolon Simulation Health Care Center of Excellence provides students enrolled in NSCC’s Health Professions programs with the state-of-the-art training and experience needed to be successful in today’s health care careers, including enhanced health care simulation that allows students to apply theory and skills to real-life situations and advanced technology for electronic medical records software training.
NSCC’s Henderson-Bertolon Simulation Center takes training to the next level
The newly expanded Henderson-Bertolon Simulation Center, which is located on the first floor of the Health Professions and Student Services Building in Danvers, includes six simulation rooms (Respiratory Care, Labor and Delivery/NICU, Pediatric, two Medical/Surgical, and an outpatient room), in addition to two debrief rooms, a medication room, and a supply room. The Henderson Bertolon Center provides NSCC students with the opportunity to immerse themselves in a simulated health care environment and grow interdisciplinary simulation capabilities. Through their real-time hands-on training, students gain the necessary experience needed to be successful in today’s health care careers, allowing students to apply theory and skills to real-life situations and advanced technology for electronic medical records software training.
Faculty excellence and healthcare partnerships
NSCC’s faculty maintains and adheres to standards of excellence utilizing the innovations provided by the Henderson-Bertolon Simulation Center, including advanced training in experiential simulation instruction. These state-of-the-art labs allow learners to apply their knowledge and skills in a safe environment and gain practical experience in their chosen fields to achieve higher job placement rates after graduation.

An exceptional learning experience is made possible by valued support and partnership
The Bertolon Simulation Health Care Center Center of Excellence was established in 2019 with an unprecedented $1.765 million gift from The Bertolon Family Foundation. Read more >
“Practical skills and graduating qualified job candidates are the reasons we decided to help NSCC, with the goal of increasing student access to the College's already impressive Simulation Lab. With our gift, we hope to encourage other individuals and organizations to come join us and help make a difference by supporting NSCC.”
— Donna Henderson, NSCC Class of 1972
New Life Sciences Pathways Center of Excellence
The creation of a Life Sciences Center with modernized lab access on both campuses will address critical workforce training needs in Allied Health and STEM-related industries. The updated labs will provide learner-centric lab space organized to maximize student accessibility including students with sensory and/or physical impairments, and facilitate close faculty-staff interaction, collaboration, and teamwork.
