We are pleased to promote the exciting field of healthcare in our community. We offer a Student Observer Program to give students the opportunity to shadow our healthcare professionals and learn more about the field and healthcare in rural settings.

For students 16 and over that are not enrolled in a healthcare program, we offer up to 8 hours of observation at the hospital. (If you are a student enrolled in a healthcare post high school program, you may observe for more than 8 hours and should contact Human Resources at (660) 686-2362.)
