Future health care professionals in the making! 💙📚

As students head back to school this week, we're looking back at an inspiring summer experience for 20 local middle school students who got a behind-the-scenes look at the world of health care through the Diane Rauch Camp Nurse Jr. program at Mease Dunedin Hospital.

From learning first aid and Stop the Bleed skills to exploring the operating room, laboratory, radiology and more, campers experienced the many opportunities available in health care while connecting classroom learning to real-world careers.

Named in honor of longtime nurse and benefactor Diane Rauch, the program helps inspire the next generation while showcasing the dedicated team members who make a difference every day. Special thanks to the Morton Plant Mease Foundation for helping make this unique experience possible.
