Hampton CenterThe Hampton Center, located at 1501 W. Silver Springs Blvd. in Ocala, opened in February 1996. A complete, new center opened in 2004 with a focus on health occupations and community outreach programs. The Hampton Center includes three classrooms, a computer lab and dedicated labs for its health education programs. Academic programs offered at the center include Associate in Science degrees in Dental Assisting and Physical Therapist Assistant, as well as a variety of continuing education courses. The Marion County Health Department dental clinic is conveniently located in West Ocala at the Hampton Center. This unique partnership between CF and the health department provides a broad range of dental services to ages 4–20, while serving as a clinical site for the CF Dental Assisting program. Some specific community programs at the center include: Prescription For Success, an initiative to increase the number of minority and economically disadvantage students who are successful in pursuing an A.A. or A.S. degree at CF; and Shop Talk, community health education programs on cancer. |
