About Us

Our Story

Active Health Institute started as a dream in the heart of an amazing and compassionate woman, Dr. Amparo Sanchez, with the purpose of preparing wholesome professionals by teaching them excellent caregiving skills and instilling in them a heart for service.

When we ask her, what prompted you to be so brave and found a post-secondary school in Miami, being a foreign medical professional and an immigrant in the US?

She always says; “When you try you may win or lose, but if I don’t try, then the only outcome is losing, that’s why when you take steps forward even when you fear and your legs are shaking, the dreams become clearer and possible, just focus on progress one day at a time”.

With a winner’s mindset and along with her daughters, true supportive friends and caring professional guidance, we opened our doors in 2007 providing review programs to help our minorities get state and nationally certified in several health care areas in the State of Florida.

A short time after opening our doors, our vocational division opened offering our students technical and vocational programs that lead to licensure and great employment opportunities in the health care field, such as Nursing, Dialysis and Patient Care.

After several years and many successful stories preparing many foreign professionals become licensed in the US, as well as preparing nursing graduates for their Licensure Exam (NCLEX) and seeing how our students life would change the moment they passed their licensure tests, Active Health Institute became one of the leading schools to provide bilingual training and targeted test taking strategies for the Board’s Exams (NCLEX RN-PN, Hemodialysis, CNA and many more).

In 2014 our directors decided to open our Degree program division offering then the Associate in Nursing and the RN to BSN, or Bachelors in Nursing for Registered Nurses. In 2017 we opened our On-line division offering Nursing Remedials, Hemodialysis Programs, Reviews and Specialized Licensure-Exam-Focused Trainings.
In 2019 we started offering all of our programs with the option of Online-Hybrid components to satisfy the demand of local and out-of-state students seeking opportunities to study and getting involved in a more personalized approach to education with the distance-education convenience.

The vision doesn’t stop here, Active Health institute with its Faculty, Staff, Students and Alumni is on the road of becoming a nationwide leading educational institution and we want you on board.

Active Health Institute is a work of love, commitment, self-improvement and family focused endeavors. We believe that if you are well and realize your dreams of becoming a professional, everything you touch, including your family and your patient’s life, will also be improved.

We hope to welcome you in our classrooms very soon.
