Today, HHS students had the opportunity to attend the 2025 Virtual Healthcare Day where local professionals in Kansas walked them through different healthcare careers. Students got to see what "a day in the life of" consists of for each profession, schooling required to obtain that position and the many different avenues a student could take to get there. Each profession gave advice to high school students on how they can prepare now for these careers in healthcare as well as numerous scholarship opportunities, mentor programs, internships, etc that are available to them in Kansas!
