Our History
Gifted Hands Academy (GHA) was established with a clear vision: to provide accessible, high-quality Allied Health education to the residents of Northwest Indiana. The concept for GHA was initially developed in October 2019, with strategic support from List Ink LLC. After a period of intensive development and planning, Gifted Hands Academy LLC officially opened its doors in January 2021.
Gifted Hands Academy began its journey within the Hammond Development Corporation (HDC) building, marking the initial phase of its growth. Now located at 6831 Grand Ave. in Hammond, Indiana, Gifted Hands Academy is committed to offering career-focused, hands-on training in the Allied Health sector.
Program Director Tiffany Stokes is dedicated to providing a learning environment that caters to diverse learning styles. The GHA curriculum is meticulously designed to ensure that students of all learning capacities can effectively learn, practice, and retain critical information related to allied health careers. As a value-added component, GHA also provides CPR certification for healthcare workers, enhancing the skill set of its graduates.
Gifted Hands Academy LLC is certified by the State of Indiana Office for Career and Technical Schools, ensuring that all courses meet rigorous state standards and are overseen by a recognized accreditation body.
