Where the textbook meets real-world experience.

Today, our Year 1 and Year 2 Health Science students completed their first day of clinicals at The Jefferson County Nursing Home. A huge shoutout to the facility for welcoming our students with open arms. Every staff member we encountered was warm, inviting, and eager to share advice and encouragement with our future healthcare professionals.

Students walked in feeling a little nervous, timid, and unsure of what the day would hold. By the time they left, many were already asking to make sure we were coming back on Thursday!

Thank you again to the Jefferson County Nursing Home for providing such an invaluable learning experience for our students today and in the days to come. 🏥❤️💛💙

We were honored to welcome Belinda Lane, Community Outreach Coordinator with MORA, to visit our Health Science students! 💙

Mrs. Lane delivered an impactful and informative session on Organ, Eye, and Tissue Donation, helping our students gain a deeper understanding of how one decision can save and transform countless lives.

Our future healthcare professionals walked away with valuable knowledge about the importance of donation, the process, and the powerful impact it has on individuals, families, and communities.

Thank you, Mrs. Lane, for pouring into our students and inspiring them to think beyond the classroom and into real-world healthcare impact! 👏🏽

Late post Feb 2026: Integumentary System

Our Year 1 students dove into the integumentary system this week! In class, we covered the different types of skin wounds, the layers involved with each injury, and basic first aid skills for each scenario.

Students were assigned a specific wound type, and their classmates had to correctly identify it — as you can see, it got a little messy, but the students had a blast!
Hands-on learning in action!
