Exploring Opportunities in HealthCare
Update (September 15, 2021): area healthcare organizations are working very hard on keeping patients, community members,
and team members safe regarding the spread of COVID-19/Coronavirus and other variants. As part of this effort,
area organizations are limiting the number of people going in and out of their facilities which has led to job shadows being indefinitely suspended for high school students.
