HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS from all over the state traveled up to 5 hours to Rhinelander, Wisconsin for The Pulse: Health Careers Camp June 23-26 sponsored by the Wisconsin Area Health Education Center (AHEC). The students were from 17 area communities including Colfax. The first day of the camp they traveled to Wausau where they were able to explore health careers and have hands on experiences with simulation manikins at Northcentral Technical College and Aspirus. The next day they traveled up to Ashland where they toured Memorial Medical Center/Essentia Health, NorthLakes Community Clinic, and Hickman Chiropractic & Wellness Center. On their final day, students stayed in the Rhinelander area and went to The Human Service Center, Oneida County Public Health Department and Nicolet College. The students were able to walk away with a better understanding of the variety of growing opportunities in the health sciences industry and the need for providers in rural areas in order to improve access to healthcare. The camp was hosted by Northwest, Northern Highland & North Central WI Area Health Education Centers (AHEC). —photo submitted
