CODY — Cody Regional Health recently had the privilege of hosting an engaging and educational tour for three third-grade classes from Sunset Elementary School in Cody. With a mission to inspire young minds, the hospital opened its doors to 52 enthusiastic students eager to explore the world of health care.

The tour, designed to introduce students to various aspects of health care and hospital operations, took them through several departments within the Cody Regional Health main campus.

The goal was to provide an inside look at the hospital environment, introduce them to diverse career opportunities in health care, and instill a sense of curiosity about the vital role of health care professionals.

The young visitors had the opportunity to explore the Emergency Room and Bay, Radiology and Imaging department, Buffalo Bistro Cafe, as well as the Physical and Occupational Therapy departments.

Each department visit was guided by knowledgeable staff who shared their insights and experiences, making the learning experience both informative and enjoyable.

One of the primary objectives of the tour was to inspire the next generation of health care professionals. By showcasing the diverse range of jobs available within a hospital and how they all contribute to patient care, Cody Regional Health hopes to encourage these young students to consider careers in healthcare in the future.

Cody Regional Health is committed to supporting and nurturing local talent, and events like these underscore the hospital’s dedication to the community’s educational growth.

“We are thrilled to have welcomed these bright young students from Sunset Elementary School to our hospital. It’s our hope that this experience will spark their interest in health care and motivate them to explore career paths in clinical and non-clinical fields. We believe that by exposing them to the different aspects of health care, we can inspire them to make a difference in the lives of patients in the years to come,” said Ashley Trudo, marketing director at Cody Regional Health.

The hospital looks forward to continuing its community engagement and educational initiatives, providing young students with unique opportunities to learn, grow, and consider health care careers.
