Fresh Meadows facility acquired by St. John’s

St. John’s University announced its acquisition of Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers School of Allied Health Professions. The agreement consolidates the enmeshed history of education the two have shared for over thirty years.
St. John’s University plans to retain Saint Vincent’s current faculty, staff and administration as well as continuing the education of independent students from other colleges already enrolled there.
The 40,000 square foot building located in Fresh Meadows located at 175-05 Horace Harding Expressway, about a mile and a half from the St. John’s Queens campus, will be renamed the Dr. Andrew J. Bartilucci Center.
“We are pleased that these important allied health education programs are transitioning to St. John’s University as Saint Vincent’s returns to its core function and mission as a healthcare provider in New York,” said Guy Sansone, President and CEO of Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers on Friday, March 2.
The two institutions offered conjoined programs in four-year Medical Technology, Physician Assistant and Pathologist Assistant degrees. St. John’s University will continue to issue certificate programs previously offered by Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers such as Radiology Technician, EMS Institute training for EMT and EMT/Paramedic.
Robert Mangione, St John’s University Dean of the College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions said, “St. John’s College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions plans to continue to enhance program offerings while maintaining a level of excellence that we are accustomed to in producing today’s top pharmacy and allied health professions students that will go on to be the leaders of tomorrow in our industry.”
