Kaskaskia College is celebrating two significant milestones in healthcare education during 2026 as the College recognizes the 60th Anniversary of its Radiologic Technology Program and the 25th Anniversary of its Diagnostic Medical Sonography (DGMS) Program.
Kaskaskia College President George Evans said the programs exemplify the College’s mission of transforming student lives and strengthening communities.
“For 60 years and 25 years respectively, these programs have opened doors to rewarding careers while helping address critical healthcare workforce needs throughout Southern Illinois. Every graduate represents a patient who will receive skilled, compassionate care and a community that benefits from a well-trained healthcare professional. That is the lasting impact of these programs.”
Since welcoming its first class in 2000, the Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program has graduated 252 sonographers through May 2026, with an additional 10 students expected to graduate in October 2026. Since the Radiologic Technology Program’s inception through May 2026, Kaskaskia College has graduated 1,163 radiologic technologists.
