Interested in a career in healthcare?
Have fun this summer while learning about healthcare careers during Freeman Health Academy free summer day camps for area high school students. Students from Jasper, Newton, and McDonald counties are eligible.
Freeman Health Academy, the first program of its kind in our community, gives students the opportunity to learn about healthcare careers from Freeman physicians and staff. The program, provided at no cost to students or parents, consists of workshops where students learn about the many career options in healthcare, tour hospital departments, and participate in fun educational activities. After completing the workshop, students are recognized with an achievement certificate and a reward during an awards ceremony. Students also receive a Freeman Health Academy t-shirt.
Please note: students must have their own transportation to and from Freeman East and Freeman West. Lunch will be provided for all student participants.
