UHS Delaware Valley Hospital to host students for Mash Camp

UHS Delaware Valley Hospital is sponsoring a Mash Camp for area tenth, eleventh and twelfth grade students on October 24 & 25. Last year, eleven area schools were represented including some from Broome County, and the Pennsylvania and Syracuse areas. Students choose which day they would like to attend.

“Our staff members have all come up with creative ways to give the students hands-on experiences within their departments,“ said Cindy Gardepe, Human Resource Director.

Hospital departments participating in Mash Camp include the inpatient medical unit, ambulatory services, emergency department, imaging, lab, respiratory and physical and occupational therapy, the primary care office as well as the outpatient pharmacy.

Students receive lunch, and a backpack filled with a variety of swag items and information.

Applications can be picked up at area schools’ guidance counselors’ offices, or call Cindy Gardepe, Director DVH Human Resources at 607-865-2171. There is no charge to attend this event. Deadline for applications is October 17.
