Monroe, Ga. (July 23, 2024) – Piedmont Walton Hospital recently hosted a Healthcare Day Camp, providing an opportunity for 10 high school students to learn more about careers in healthcare. The immersive experience allowed students to explore various career paths in clinical and supporting roles, gaining hands-on experience of the jobs available at Piedmont Walton.

The students shadowed Piedmont Walton staff members in Respiratory, Nursing, Rehab Services, Radiology, the Operating Room, and Would Care. They participated in simulations that included taking vital signs, performing CPR, practicing intubation, and performing a CT scan, learning the role each job plays in overall patient care.

Piedmont Walton hopes to offer the day camp again next summer, expanding it to more high school students in Walton County with an interest in working at Piedmont.
