4-H Adventures in Health Science slated

GREENVILLE — Are you between the ages of 12-18 and interested in a career in the health field? Do you know someone who is?

The Adventures in Health Science program will be held at C.A Dean Memorial Hospital from June 28-30. Participants will learn about the anatomy (structure), physiology (function) and pathophysiology (function of diseases and conditions) of the respiratory system while meeting with people who work in the healthcare field. The program runs from 10 am to 2 p.m. all three days, with lunch provided.

4-H encourages kids to “learn by doing” and this program will be as hands on as possible, including participating in dissections of animal lungs with a vet. The program cost is waived for currently enrolled 4-H members. Please sign up by June 21, by contacting Sheila Norman at UMaine Extension in Piscataquis County at 564-3301 or sheila.norman@maine.edu.
