Grad to Faculty, Dr. Jeana Voorhies Chose Northeast for its Academics, Opportunities and Location
Jeana Voorhies, (D.C. '01),
Assistant Professor
Jeana Voorhies, D.C. '01, knew that teaching was in her blood. As much as she loves caring for patients, Voorhies felt like something was missing. "When the opportunity arose to join the amazing faculty at NYCC (now Northeast College), I jumped at the chance," said Voorhies, an educational administrator and assistant professor at the College for five years. Voorhies is also a past recipient of Northeast's Faculty Excellence Award, which acknowledges exemplary professors for their significant contribution to teaching students who become quality healthcare professionals.
Voorhies first learned about chiropractic care as a high school and college athlete seeking treatment for her own injuries. The natural approach to healing and pursuing optimal health resonated with her. "It just fit so well with my own beliefs," she said.
Looking to pursue a career in chiropractic, Voorhies visited then-NYCC from Pennsylvania. She fell in love with the beauty and serenity of the campus, Seneca Falls and the Finger Lakes region. She was also excited about the rigor of the curriculum. For Voorhies, "Northeast stood above all other colleges for me with regard to academics, experiences and location."
