Augusta Health Career Explorers camp

Chris Graham

Last week, from July 22-24, 34 campers were at Augusta Health to learn about healthcare careers.

ACES stands for Augusta Health Career Explorers.  The campers were sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders from schools in Staunton, Waynesboro and Augusta County.

They learn by completing hands-on activities with hospital staff from many departments — Radiology, Community Wellness, Nursing, Rehab, Laboratory, Nutrition and Pharmacy — and had a special session on organ donation with Lifenet.
