The delivery of high quality health care has become very complex, and it relies on a diverse team of health professionals. Some on this team-such as physicians, nurses, pharmacists- are familiar to the public; others are less known. Most of these less known providers are in a category called Allied Health Professionals. Neosho County Community College offers several Allied Health classes for people interested in entering the healthcare field.
