Camp Med Highlights from Mitchell!
April 22, 2025 | Corn Palace

Seventy-five seventh graders explored the world of healthcare careers at Mitchell Camp Med—right inside the iconic Corn Palace!

Students rotated through eight hands-on stations led by real healthcare pros, diving into careers like:
✅ Dental care
✅ Speech pathology
✅ Radiology
✅ Respiratory therapy
✅ Health informatics..and more!

This fast-paced, interactive day gave students a close-up look at how they can make a difference in rural healthcare. Whether listening to a heartbeat or exploring digital diagnostics, each student walked away with new inspiration for the future.

A big THANK YOU to the amazing local professionals, schools, volunteers, and Southeast South Dakota AHEC for making this experience possible!
