The Healthcare Travelling Roadshow hit the road in early May to present to high school students in Salmo, Creston, and Lumby. As part of the annual initiative, a group of nine healthcare students delivered hands-on, interactive experiences to rural high schools. The ultimate goals of the project are to raise awareness about the diverse range of careers available and help inspire future healthcare professionals.
