Coordinated by Stephanie Cowart, Project Manager, Special Programs, the event included presentations by CHCN providers, a tour of the health center’s various patient service areas, and plenty of opportunities to ask questions about various aspects of providing care for community members.
“We fulfilled the goal of Niagara Falls High School’s Career Enrichment Program! Doctors, dentists, nurse practitioners and other medical professionals enjoyed interacting with juniors and seniors interested in pursuing medical careers,” said Stephanie Cowart. “More importantly, we were grateful for the opportunity to engage, expose and enrich them.”
