๐๐ Nex-Gen Summer Interns Explore Innovation in Logan ๐๐
Learning doesn't just happen inside the hospital!
Last week, OCMH's Nex-Gen Summer Interns traveled to Logan, Kansas, for a day of exploration and inspiration.
Their first stop was Logan Manor, where they experienced an innovative campus that brings together a nursing home, elementary school, junior high, high school, and shared community spaces. The interns saw firsthand how daily interactions between residents and students foster meaningful friendships across generations, while thoughtfully designed featuresโincluding a therapeutic outdoor space and easy access to school activities and sporting eventsโhelp residents stay active and connected to the community.
The group also visited the Dane G. Hansen Memorial Museum, where they explored an exciting international traveling exhibit from Australia focused on the theme of travel. Interactive displays, including a giant globe, flight simulator, virtual cycling experiences, and other hands-on activities, made the museum a memorable and inspiring stop.
Experiences like these help our interns discover new ideas, explore career opportunities, and see the many ways healthcare and communities can work together to improve quality of life.
