Yesterday was "Take Our Kids to Work Day", and we were thrilled to welcome students into our organization for a fun, hands-on day exploring the many careers that make up our health campus. From "glow bug" handwashing challenges and lab demos to culinary creations with our dietary team, students got a real taste of what it’s like to work in health care.

Thank you to all our team members, students, and volunteer hosts who made the day such a memorable experience! 💙
