Stanislaus County Leadership Academy is slated to meet on Friday, March 2 for Healthcare Day. Students will visit Memorial and Doctor’s Medical Centers to learn about careers in the healthcare industry, and will have the opportunity to hear from professionals working in areas such as trauma, labor and delivery, and the operating room.

Stanislaus County Office of Education’s Prevention Programs Department oversees the Leadership Academy Program. Students representing schools throughout the county meet one day each month throughout the school year. They learn about emerging community issues, are provided opportunities to expand their knowledge of academics and work ethics, and gain an awareness of local career availability. One of the goals of Leadership Academy is to raise awareness of careers available locally to students after they graduate from college or trade school.
