[edit] History
Ross Medical Education Center has been offering allied health career training for more than 30 years.[5] The school group is owned by Ross Education, LLC.[6] Ross Education began in 1969, when J. M. Ross opened a school in Flint, MI under the name Learning Foundations. It provided after-school academic instruction to kindergarten through twelfth grade students. From 1969 to 1971, J.M. Ross opened six more schools under the same name.
In 1971, the name of the company changed to Ross Learning, Inc., and the focus of the company shifted from K-12 education to providing prevocational and vocational training services to adults. In 1973, Ross Learning, Inc. was purchased by Howard J. Hulsman, and the organization began developing into career training centers.
In 2004, Mr. Hulsman sold Ross Learning, Inc., to three officers of the corporation: Christine Ossenmacher, Paul Mitchell and Richard Lockman. Ross Education, LLC purchased the assets in 2005. In December 2006, Ross closed its two Florida campuses. In 2007, the school began offering Medical Insurance Billing and Office Administration at select campuses. This program is now available at all Ross campuses.[7] In 2008, the school began offering Dental Assisting courses at select campuses. This program is now available at all campuses, except Port Huron, MI and Redford, MI.[8]
Today, Ross Medical Education Centers are allied health schools in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. All are accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools. Each facility operates independently.
It should be noted that Ross Medical Education Center has NO affiliation with Ross University School of Medicine[9], a degree granting medical school.
[edit] Officers
The current officers of Ross Education, LLC are Paul Mitchell, CEO; James Walsh, president; John Higgins, vice president, secretary; Brian Demkowicz, vice president; and Anthony Iaquinto, CFO, treasurer.
