Youngsters from North Madison Elementary School in Camby, were given a behind-the-scenes look at the myriad career opportunities in health care at St. Francis Hospital-Mooresville. The March 27 event, organized by RN Cheryl Howard, brought together several staff members from the hospital who set up learning stations for the kids. The students spent time listening and learning about specific health and medical topics and participated in hands-on demonstrations.
