Tomorrow's Leaders Today

#tbt to Health & Wellness Day in January when TLT #youth leaders met a plethora of professionals from a variety of departments, and explored what it’s like to work in the medical field. Some of the highlights at Memorial Hospital in Santa Rosa included a VIP experience where students toured the Grossroom (pathology), food service (kitchen), women’s health and cath lab, and gained a hands-on perspective of the trauma center in action. At Medtronics, some of our Santa Rosa stud...ents learned about why STEM careers are critical to the development of life-saving medical devices. They also toured engineering labs where product design and testing are completed. At Kaiser Permanente Petaluma Medical Offices, some of leaders met a mama-to-be and observed a prenatal ultrasound procedure, learned why vitals are an important element to managing our health and why proper hand-washing techniques prevent the spread of germs! Special thanks to our partners at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, Kaiser Permanente - Petaluma Offices, and Medtronic Cardiovascular for hosting TLT’s Health & Wellness Day so our youth leaders could explore, discover and learn exciting information and opportunities in the medical industry!
