#sokyahec Thank you, to our partners with the Baptist Health system! The Southern KY AHEC was honored to provide some hands on activities, health professions students, and guest speakers during the week-long camp in Corbin, KY.
The future of healthcare is shining bright! Throughout June, Baptist Health hospitals hosted healthcare career camps for 117 enthusiastic students. These healthcare career camps are an excellent reflection of our proactive approach in finding the right employees for Baptist Health. By engaging with young talent early on, we are not only nurturing their interest in healthcare but also paving the way for a strong, dedicated workforce in the future. A heartfelt thank you to our seven community partners who made this initiative possible.
