Fourth, fifth, and sixth grade Berea students attended a summer enrichment program to learn more about health career fields. Southern Kentucky AHEC student intern Tonya Baker and Health Careers Coordinator Taylor McCauley led a class on DNA and its role in the human body. Students also participated in a hands-on activity, creating DNA necklaces to better understand the structure of DNA while exploring concepts in science and healthcare.

Our first Summer Camp at Rockcastle Regional Hospital kicked off today with 6 enthusiastic campers ready to explore healthcare careers!

Throughout the day, students learned about a variety of career paths, including dentistry, behavioral health, and nursing. We started with team-building activities before diving into hands-on dental experiences, where students practiced placing fillings and making dental impressions.

The day concluded with an introduction to basic nursing skills and a patient care scenario using our pediatric simulation model.

We’re excited to continue learning, exploring healthcare careers, and having fun together. We can’t wait for Day 2 tomorrow!

Jake is at Danville Independent High School today in Mrs. Kissee’s class doing a follow up blood typing activity. In the winter, students learned about the different blood types while typing synthetic blood & lab careers. Today, students are getting to type their own blood to figure out what blood type they are. We even had a special guest in the building join our 1st period class. Thanks for having us this school year!

Happy retirement to Anna Jones! After 31 incredible years, she’s decided to hang it up.

It was so special celebrating with both the “old crew” and the new team—what a great turnout for someone who’s made such a lasting impact.

Anna, wishing you all the very best in your retirement. You’ve earned every minute of it!
