TL/DR –
The Ideal School of Allied Health Care on Long Island is helping prepare the next generation of licensed caregivers by offering classes in Spanish and preparing students for jobs like medical assistants. The institution, which also collaborated with Local 1199 to create a program that pays for nearly all of the tuition, was founded by a registered nurse over a decade ago to address a caregiver shortage. Additionally, the New York Public Library is hosting an exhibit, “¡Wepa!: Puerto Ricans in the World of Comics,” which showcases three decades of comic book collections and is the largest collection of Puerto Rican comic book creators.
