HIBBING — Hospitals aren’t typically where students want to spend their summers, but more than 20 middle schoolers spent a Thursday in July at Fairview Range Medical Center, learning about healthcare careers and hospital operations.
ADVERTISEMENT“We’re trying to look at that long-term goal of getting more people into healthcare careers,” said Barbara Jackson with Wilderness Health.
The camp was arranged in partnership with Fairview Range Medical Center in Hibbing and Wilderness Health, a collaborative of independent providers.
