In total, FACES programs have served more than 4,500 students nationally since its inception in 2000. 100% of FACES students graduate from high school, and more than 90% intend to pursue a health career when they graduate. Moreover, over 90% of FACES graduates pursue a post-secondary pathway, leading to college, employment or certification programs in health.
