Wellsboro, Pa., July 18, 2023 – Students from Wellsboro and Southern Tioga School Districts in grades seven through nine recently spent a few days with staff from UPMC Wellsboro learning about various health care career fields.  

The ‘I Want to be a Health Care Worker’ summer camp gave the students opportunities to learn with hands-on activities, real life experiences, and knowledge on which courses they may need to achieve their future goals. 

“At the beginning of camp, the students are asked if they know what kind of career they are interested in – they are again asked at the end of the camp during a closing ceremony,” said Faith Preston, volunteer services coordinator, UPMC Wellsboro. “It’s amazing to see how their choices change, which shows the impact the camp has had on them. We look forward to inspiring future students and continuing this camp next year.”
