🩺 Futures in the making.

This is what hands-on learning looks like at HopeCAT.

Pictured: Last year's Medical Assistant students were getting real-world experience practicing IV skills and building the confidence they need to step into the healthcare field.

Every skill they learn today brings them one step closer to the careers they're working toward tomorrow.

The future of healthcare starts here. 🩺✨

🎨 Calling All Artists! 🎨

Join us for the Buhl Day Art Show on September 7 from 1–4 PM at the Buhl Park Casino!

The theme is not required, but we’d love to see artists put their own creative spin on it, whether your work celebrates, questions, or reimagines the American experience.

All art mediums are welcome! Painting, photography, sculpture, ceramics, mixed media, and everything in between. Come showcase your creativity and be part of this beloved community tradition!
