Regional One Health places a tremendous value on innovation, technological advancement, and excellent educational opportunities within the healthcare arena. As we strive to be the premier academic hospital in the region, we foster efforts to educate the newer generations who show interest in math, science, and other healthcare areas.
The Teenteer Program is a Summer Program for high school students that provides exposure to the many careers in the healthcare environment while providing service to their community. As part of this program, teens receive volunteer experience and become familiar with the hospital setting.
The Teenteer Program is very competitive and only takes those students who have a vested interest in the healthcare industry, serving their community, and who can meet the required commitment of the program. The number of students accepted into each program will vary per year.
Commitment
The Teenteer Program is scheduled for the week of May 28- 31, 2024. This program is open to high school students, ages 16-18.
