For Faculty & Staff

Northeast College of Health Sciences has officially welcomed two of the massage therapy profession's most respected educators to its faculty for the Fall 2026 trimester. Beginning this September, Ruth Werner and Dr. Susan G. Salvo have brought decades of clinical, teaching and publishing experience directly to the College's Massage Therapy program, offering students the unprecedented opportunity to learn from the very authors whose textbooks have helped educate generations of massage therapists worldwide.

Northeast College of Health Sciences is marking the chiropractic profession's 131st Founder's Day (Sept. 18) by reflecting on its own 107-year history in chiropractic education. Founded in 1919 as Columbia Institute of Chiropractic in a Manhattan brownstone, the College relocated to a 280-acre campus in Seneca Falls, NY, in 1991, and returned chiropractic education to the NYC metro area in 2024 with a new Long Island campus in Levittown. President Dr. Michael Mestan says the profession's emphasis on excellence and professionalism laid the foundation for Northeast's growth into nutrition, radiologic technology, diagnostic medical sonography, massage therapy and physician assistant studies.

Students exploring a career in chiropractic are gaining more than a glimpse of what it’s like to learn at Northeast College of Health Sciences, with campus locations in Seneca Falls in New York’s Finger Lakes region and Long Island in the New York City metropolitan area.
