On July 9, Shepherd University hosted a Healthcare Career Exploration Workshop, inviting high school students from local schools like those in Charles Town and Ranson to gain hands-on experience in health care. Led by nursing professors, including Laureen Donovan and Sara Reynolds, the program focused on essential skills like patient movement and microbiology, aiming to inspire the next generation of health care professionals. Launched in 2021, the workshop is part of a broader initiative to counteract the loss of health care workers post-pandemic, ensuring that young people are encouraged to pursue careers in nursing and related fields.
