This June we’re running the 2nd Annual Healthcare Career Exploration Camp that allows high school students to explore career options in health sciences. This opportunity is sponsored by Pickaway WORKS in partnership with OSU Extension and Ohio Health Berger. Student participants will meet and shadow multiple healthcare professionals and learn first-hand about the in-demand careers in this growing sector.
