SENSITIVITY TRAINING

Hands-on inspiration

How do you inspire the next generation of health care workers?

At HCA Florida Sarasota Doctors Hospital, caregivers brought their children to the hospital to explore careers in health care for National Take Your Child to Work Day, April 27.

“We had about 18 kids,” said Monica Yadav, the hospital’s director of communications and community engagement.

“The kids were really excited and had lots of energy.”

It was the first time since the start of the pandemic that the hospital was able to hold the annual event.

After having their pictures taken for their hospital badges, the children got to tour the hospital’s different departments. In the operating room, the kids tried on surgical outfits and learned about the surgeons’ tools.
