Healthcare Careers: Nursing Spotlight 🩺✨
On August 9, our MY Leaders dug into careers in nursing with Sr. .wehrhan (Director of Education, ) and a team of Alia nursing students. The session was candid, practical, and inspiring—covering college applications, choosing a path, staying focused, and the many roles within nursing and broader healthcare. Youth asked smart questions, networked, and even made plans to tour Alia to learn more.
This moment was extra special because Sr. Sandra opened the doors of her office at Alia Healthcare to host our very first Summer Youth Leadership Camp in 2015—and she’s been with us since the beginning. Her message on diversity in healthcare—and how minorities often have to carve pathways so future generations see providers who truly represent their communities—resonated deeply with our teens.
Grateful to Sr. Sandra and the Alia students for donating their time and expertise to our youth leaders. Want to help us keep programs like this free?
