Ward Melville Students Take Part In Health Challenge

From Three Village Schools:Ward Melville High School’s HOSA club participated in the 2019 Northwell Health’s Spark Challenge to gain a better understanding of the various STEM careers in the medical field.

During the event, the students met and spent the day with the health and safety
coordinator at Northwell Health. They learned just what that job entailed and how this
coordinator needs to work with many different departments in the medical field in order to
make the business of health care run smoothly for staff, families and patients
combined. The safety coordinator works with the environmental administrator, the
physician’s assistant, to the lab technician specialist, training them to help provide the best
possible care for everyone.
Before concluding the day, the students met with their peers from all throughout
Long Island to learn about the different career opportunities available to them and network
about their similar interests.
