Our Youth Health Advisory Council (YHAC) members were in action today hosting a fun and educational Germ Awareness Event between the Yellow and Red Cafeterias! 🦠✨

Students stopped by to learn all about germs—how they spread and how to protect themselves and others. We had interactive stations with educational information, a hands-on germ activity using paper and soap, and a trivia game that got everyone thinking about which everyday items carry the most germs!

To keep the energy going, participants had the chance to win prizes like hand sanitizers, lotions, and antibacterial wipes—helping promote healthy habits while having fun.

Missed us today? Don’t worry! Catch us tomorrow between the Green and Azure Cafeterias for Part 2 of our Germ Awareness Event. You won’t want to miss it!

Our Youth Health Advisory Council (YHAC) members truly showed up and showed out at the Atrius Foundation Youth Health Summit! 🌟

From behind the scenes to center stage, our youth played powerful roles in making this event a success. Some of our members were part of the planning process, helping shape a meaningful and impactful summit. Others stepped into the spotlight as panelists, sharing their voices, experiences, and perspectives on important health topics. Also the role of MCs, confidently leading the event and keeping the energy strong throughout.

This is what youth leadership looks like—engaged, empowered, and making real change in their communities. We are incredibly proud of each and every one of them for representing YHAC with professionalism, passion, and purpose. 👏

The future of healthcare and community leadership is bright! 💙

Our Career Step students are putting their skills into action! 🩺💪

Recently, they’ve been learning and practicing different methods of blood pressure measurement, including regular blood pressure readings, palpatory blood pressure, and orthostatic blood pressures. Through hands-on experience, they’re building the confidence and accuracy needed for real clinical settings.

From understanding the importance of proper technique to recognizing how position changes can impact readings, our students are gaining valuable knowledge that will support them in their future healthcare careers.

We’re proud to see their growth and dedication as they continue developing essential patient care skills!
