Lake Regional Health System | Thrive | Fall 2017

LAKE REGIONAL NEWS CAREER CAMP EXPERIENCE Every summer, Lake Regional invites students between the ages of 10 and 14 to a two-day Career Camp at Lake Regional Hospital. The students learn about careers throughout the health care field and gain hands-on experience through job shadowing and lifelike scenarios. Here, Alvin Lawson, a certified surgical tech, explains the uses of various surgical tools.
