Students can start earning a college degree in high school and prepare for a career in healthcare through internships and shadowing in a hospital setting. Enrolled students have a year of college credit by the time they graduate high school. This program is helping to re-define community, business, and educational partnerships with a lasting benefit on the future workforce of the local community.
