WPTZ

In an effort to inspire the next generation of healthcare professionals, two local nonprofit organizations hosted a dynamic First Aid Field Day on Saturday. 

The event, organized by the Governor's Institutes of Vermont and the Vermont AHEC Network, brought together high school students eager to learn vital first-aid skills.

The event was also an effort to address the critical shortage of healthcare providers in the state. 

For over 40 years, the Governor's Institutes of Vermont has been committed to supporting young minds interested in health and medicine. 

This collaboration with The Vermont AHEC Network aims to create a pathway for students to explore potential careers in healthcare right here in Vermont.

“Our mission is to help folks find opportunity in Vermont, see that they can stay in this state, and see that there are mentors and professionals they can connect with to build a career” said Ross Johnston, Programs Manager at the Governor's Institutes of Vermont.
