CES students learn about working at a hospital By Calen McKinney Campbellsville, KY - Campbellsville Elementary School Wings Express students are learning about careers, and a recent guest speaker told them what it's like to work at a hospital. Richard Phillips, staff development coordinator at the Taylor Regional Hospital Learning & Resource Center, spoke to students on Friday, Feb. 12, about his job working for the hospital. Phillips said those who work at the hospital do a lot more than care for people. They also try to educate residents about preventative health care, he said, and help students learn what working in the health care field might be like. At TRH, Phillips said, many classes are offered to help people learn about how to stay healthy, from courses about cancer to learning how to quit smoking. As staff development coordinator, Phillips teaches many of the classes TRH offers. Phillips said high school students can also come to TRH to observe doctors and other staff members. Several CHS students are observing this school year. Students should make good choices, he said, and eat healthy foods. And if they want to work in health care, Phillips said he recommends students make good grades and stay in school. TRH employs about 700 people, Phillips said, and the fastest growing job at the hospital and in the health care field is in nursing. Phillips said students should always be mindful of washing their hands to stay healthy, along with having routine exams and immunizations. CES third-grade teacher Doretha Sanders is helping Wings Express students research careers that interest them. After answering questions about the career, such as what people who work in that career do, how much money the career pays and what education is required, students are making posters with their information. When finished, students will give presentations about their careers. Some of the careers chosen include teachers, detectives, police officers, doctors, veterinarians and more. Wings Express is a program to help students with homework and other activities. Amanda Barnett is director. Students stay at school from 3 to 5 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays and from 1 to 3 p.m. on Fridays for activities. Students are given a snack and then divided into groups to participate in programs that best fit their needs. There are about 90 students enrolled in the Wings Express program. For more information, call Barnett at (270) 465-4561. This story was posted on 2016-02-17 06:16:21
