Community Outreach

For more than a hundred years, Husson has been making important contributions to the City of Bangor, and we continue that tradition today. It is a win-win approach to doing good; not only do we provide valuable services to the people in our community, but this gives our students real-life, hands-on experience in a variety of areas including health care, occupational therapy, family business, and cultural events.

Kenduskeag Institute
Located in the Swan Center, the Kenduskeag Institute is a research center dedicated to conducting important research into human movement, physical fitness, and techniques of regaining ability and mobility.

Research and Education Center
The Research and Education Center is a state-of-the-art facility where students work closely with faculty to conduct research using high-end equipment. The Center serves as a hands-on experiential learning facility for students in the occupational therapy, physical therapy, nursing, pharmacy and forensic science programs. Students participate regularly in interprofessional learning activities within the health-related programs.
The Research and Education Center is also home to Soaring Eagles Healthcare Clinic, a student-run pro bono clinic. The clinic offers services to the uninsured and underinsured in the Bangor community. Students provide assessment and intervention in supervised interdisciplinary student teams.
