About Us
Altamont Healthcare is a family and immigrant-owned trade school committed to serving the communities of the Central Valley and California. We provide direction for motivated individuals looking to enter the healthcare industry. We welcome people from all walks of life to take part in our programs and carve their own path to success.
Altamont Healthcare was created in 2007 by Cherish Canda and Glenn Campbell. At the time, they were only taking a few students per class. Since then, Altamont Healthcare has grown significantly, introducing new programs, scheduling more classes, and most importantly teaching more students. This growth is the product of a diverse team of people constantly working to help our students and build connections with everyone that we teach. Our business is the bridge between our students and a brand new career. We are devoted to maintaining this role and we strive to improve the lives of all our students.
Altamont Healthcare manages strategic locations in Stockton and Bakersfield that allow us to serve the entire Central Valley as well as its nearby regions.
