It turned out to be a great event at the Jamestown–Falconer Health Connection!
Despite some challenging weather- students, community members, schools, healthcare organizations, and local partners came together to celebrate movement, wellness, and community connection. Participants walked and ran from Jamestown High School and Falconer High School before gathering at SUNY Jamestown Community College for the Health Careers Pop-Up and Wellness Fair.
The event offered a unique opportunity to combine physical activity with career exploration, allowing participants to learn about local health and wellness resources while connecting with organizations working to improve the health of our community. As a pilot effort, the Health Careers Pop-Up was also an exciting way to introduce students and community members to the many career pathways available within the healthcare field.
The Chautauqua Healthy Youth and Schools Program (CHYSP) was happy to be part of this collaborative event and grateful to work alongside so many dedicated community partners. We look forward to continuing these conversations and supporting future opportunities that encourage healthy lifestyles, active communities, and interest in health professions.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the day a success!
