On September 1, 2021 the American Nurses' Association called for the Department of Health and Human Services to declare a national nurse staffing crisis. Nurses provide 90% of all care to patients in hospitals. Images from the pandemic brought the work of nurses into the spotlight – nurses were rightly deemed heroes – and in fact, they and other healthcare providers worked at great risk to their own health and that of their families.
“Improving outcomes for patients and reducing healthcare costs increasingly depend on employees who understand the interface of healthcare and data analytics, information technology and evidence-based clinical improvements,” said Marcus Tye, dean of the College of Health Professions. “Pace’s online MSHI, as a joint program of the College of Health Professions and the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Studies, uniquely addresses this need with shared expertise in health professions and computer science.”
In an interview with MDLinx, Christen Cooper, EdN, RDN, Coordinator MS, Founding Director in Nutrition and Dietetics, College of Health Professions, Pace University, Pleasantville, New York, said, “Many herbs show promise for preventing and fighting diseases.

Pace is excited to announce that Marcus Tye, PhD, has taken the helm as the dean for the College of Health Professions.
