Lima Memorial Health System and Rhodes State College will join together on Wednesday, February 1, from 7 - 8:30 p.m. to host a session of Lima Memorial’s ExploringTM Program at Lima Memorial’s main campus. Here, local high school students will delve into health care careers in respiratory care and pharmacy with hands-on stations in the Rhodes State College “Rhodes in Motion” mobile laboratory.
The ExploringTM Program aims to provide high school students with positive and meaningful real-world experiences and leadership development opportunities in their healthcare fields of interest. Participants will also have the opportunity to network with representatives of Lima Memorial and Rhodes State College and learn about the latest healthcare technology and educational requirements for a health care career.
“We are excited to collaborate with Rhodes State College to bring this invaluable experience to local youth,” shared Lauren Lammers of the Lima Memorial Human Resources team. “It is an honor to work together and immerse students in a healthcare setting and provide them with information needed to make an informed decision about their career.”
“Rhodes in Motion” will offer ExploringTM participants a high-technology health care learning experience with ten work / lab stations inside a 39-foot, two-slide-out motor coach. The mobile lab, a recent addition to the extensive educational activities at Rhodes State College, aims to bring access to hands-on learning experiences to everyone in our community.
“We sincerely value this opportunity to partner with Lima Memorial’s Exploring Program. Our mission is to bridge the gap between education and potential careers for our local youth using our unique learning environment,” said Danielle Banks, Mobile Lab Coordinator at Rhodes State.
