High school students flock to career day at Westmoreland Hospital
About 200 high school students gathered at Independence Health System’s Westmoreland Hospital in Greensburg Friday to learn about jobs in the medical field. Students from at least six Westmoreland County school districts — Greensburg Salem, Greensburg Central Catholic, Hempfield Area, Jeannette, Penn-Trafford and the Central Westmoreland Career and Technology Center — attended the event. Attendees learned about a variety of medical jobs and tools, including family medicine, operating room, EMS, anesthesia and ultrasound.
