Our HistoryGalen College of Nursing (Galen) was established by Humana Health Institutes, Inc., nearly three decades ago, solelyfocusing on nursing education. Humana, who in 1989 was positioned as one of the largest insurance providers andhealthcare systems in the country, developed a prelicensure practical/vocational nursing (PN/VN) program in response toa severe national nursing shortage. Initially offered in Louisville, Kentucky, San Antonio, Texas, and Tampa Bay, Florida,these programs continue to address the healthcare needs of the communities they serve and are exemplars of excellencein prelicensure nursing education.Galen officially became Galen College of Nursing in 2005, with the establishment of a prelicensure associate degreenursing (ADN) program at the Florida and Kentucky campuses. As part of Galen’s evolution as a college came the decisionto establish its first independent Board of Directors in 2006. In 2007, Galen established its first new campus in 17 years inCincinnati, Ohio. The College received initial accreditation with SACSCOC in 2013, and in 2014, Galen became a Level IIinstitution upon offering a baccalaureate degree in nursing.
