Medical Explorers
Offering Early Exposure to Health Careers
McDonough District Hospital invites all area high school students
interested in learning about various medical careers to our free Medical
Explorers programs. At the meetings, Explorers will have an opportunity
to engage in hands-on activities related to that career and ask
questions of medical professionals.
This year's Post Adviser is Patty Henness, MDH Public Relations.
If you have any questions about the Medical Explorers program, please
feel free to e-mail Patty at plhenness@mdh.org or call (309) 836-1557.
