Second-grade students from around the county visited various
departments in the hospital: Dietary, Rehab, Materials Management,
Laundry, Laboratory and Radiology. Highlights of the visits included
a trip into the freezer, a mock stay in a patient room and, of
course, the helipad. The students also enjoyed ambulance tours
provided by the Logan County Paramedic Association. Each group was
guided by a member of the ALMH Auxiliary.
"The ALMH Auxiliary members really enjoy sharing the day with the
children. The children are always very curious and eager to learn
about how the hospital works," said Lynne Metz, manager of volunteer
and special services.
