🎓🩺 From greeting patients to observing ultrasounds and shadowing clinicians, our 2025 HOPE and SOAR students got a hands-on look at what makes healthcare vital. ✨💉
 
These high school and college students rotated through VCHCA clinics and hospital units, observing everything from lab work to patient education, quality improvement, and even sterilization prep. Along the way, they were guided by compassionate professionals,  and even heard an inspiring talk from our Public Information Officer, who shared her journey from medical librarian to leading health communications at the Ventura County Health Care Agency.
 
This collage is just a snapshot of the commitment, curiosity, and care these students brought to every moment. Here’s to the next generation of healthcare heroes, stepping into their future, one vital experience at a time. 🙌🏽

Español:

🎓🩺 Desde saludar a pacientes hasta observar ultrasonidos y seguir de cerca a profesionales de la salud, nuestros estudiantes de HOPE y SOAR 2025 tuvieron una experiencia práctica de lo que hace al sistema de salud tan vital. ✨💉

Estos jóvenes de preparatoria y universidad rotaron por clínicas y unidades hospitalarias de VCHCA, observando de cerca desde análisis de laboratorio y educación para pacientes, hasta procesos de mejora de calidad y esterilización.

Durante el recorrido, fueron guiados por profesionales compasivos y hasta escucharon una charla inspiradora de nuestra Oficial de Información Pública, quien compartió su camino desde bibliotecaria médica hasta liderar las comunicaciones de salud en la Agencia de Atención Médica del Condado de Ventura.

Este collage es solo una muestra del compromiso, la curiosidad y el corazón que cada uno de ellos aportó en cada momento. ¡Brindamos por la próxima generación de héroes de la salud, que avanzan hacia su futuro, una experiencia vital a la vez. 🙌🏽
