Career Day
The LGH Foundation held Career Day on February 11 and 12, 2008 for graduating students from local high schools. Over 140 students from 11 different schools accepted the invitation and participated in one of the four two-hour orientation sessions. Students were able to obtain information and personally see the different career opportunities that are available in hospitals. They participated in guided tours of the Hospital and met with health care professionals.
We hope that these two days will yield positive results and encourage young people from our high schools to consider careers in health care.
