The Mohawk Valley Health System hosted a medical camp for teens ages 15 through 18 in July at the St. Luke’s Campus. MediCamp demonstrates to teens how a hospital operates and provides them with the opportunity to explore different departments for potential career endeavors.
Fifteen teens participated in the camp, which included tours of the Operating Rooms, Nursery and the inside of an air ambulance. Students received CPR training, stroke and respiratory education, and practiced their newly acquired skills.
“MediCamp is a great way for students considering a career in healthcare to learn about the inner workings of a hospital and the many fields of study available to them,” said Amy Weaver. BS, RN, CCRN, Nurse Instructor at the St. Elizabeth College of Nursing.
