Students explored healthcare careers through hands-on demonstrations and staff presentations in departments throughout the hospital, such as nursing, physical therapy, radiology, pharmacy, social work, health information and more.

Employees at West Holt Medical Services shared about their career path and what they do on a daily basis to care for patients.

“This was very informative. I enjoyed when departments demonstrated certain aspects of what they do. This showed me the different medical jobs and opportunities out there,” shared Madison Stracke.

The hospital plans to hold this event again next year.
