On May 14, Toledo Public Schools, Mercy College of Ohio and Mercy held a ribbon cutting for a new Pre-Medical and Health Science Academy on the Mercy College campus, 2200 Jefferson Ave., Toledo.
The academy, currently located at 3301 Upton Ave., has students in grades 7-12 who are interested in pursuing a career in health care.
The new space for the academy at Mercy College will house nine classrooms, two science labs, multiple study spaces and offices.
