Experience a Career in Healthcare
This is a one-day program designed for high school students to explore the diverse field of rural healthcare and the various professions it offers.

- Storytelling from local healthcare providers
- Q&A panel of local healthcare providers
- Skills Stations with hands-on learning (suturing, IV starts, airway management, etc.)
Support your high-school students’ futures and promote healthcare options in your community.
