Directions to Our Facility

Workshops are held off-campus, in the School of Allied Health and Life Science's Education Facility located at 5149 N. 9th Avenue, in the Payne Building of the Medical Mall area of Sacred Heart Hospital (SHH). The Payne Building is attached to SHH, faces Bayou Boulevard and is just to the west of the Cardiovascular facility at SHH. If you enter from 9th Ave. through the southernmost access into the SHH property, make a left at the service road and follow the service road around to your right (you will see the Cardiovascular unit on your right and you will be traveling past the front of this unit). At the stop sign south of and just past the Cardiovascular unit look to your right and there will be a small, separate parking lot which services two buildings (the building on the right is the Payne Building). Park in that lot and go to the left face of that building where there is an entrance (the entrance faces the second building in the set). Enter the small lobby of the Payne Building and take the elevator on the left side of the lobby to Floor 2. Get off of the elevator and turn left and make an immediate left down the hall to the second to last door on your right (Suite 255). Enter our new facility, and we will be there to greet you!

Our Commitment to Meeting Area Workforce Needs

The School of Allied Health and Life Sciences is committed to meeting local, regional, and national workforce needs and currently offers a series of half-day and full-day workshops and training sessions to members of the health care community in a variety of areas, including public health, nursing, computer applications in health care, health care ethics, and occupational safety and health. Workshops are taught at the School's off-campus site, located on the campus of Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola, Florida (directions provided below). As needed, students are provided with UWF computer accounts and access to a computer laboratory to complete workshop assignments and on-line modules. Information is also provided in each workshop on documentation required to be eligible to receive CEUs and/or CMEs for participation. Workshops may also be helpful to gain prerequisite skills for various programs within the School, including the Certificate in Medical Informatics, Certificate in Public Health, Certificate in Health Care Ethics, or Master of Public Health programs. Half-day workshops typically last 4 hours. In select workshops, additional follow-up materials are provided on a secure Website that participants may access and use following the workshop, from home or from work. Back-to-back half-day workshops are also scheduled during the year for out-of-town participants, for those seeking full-day training.
