“It was a fun morning for the students, teachers and nurses, and possibly inspired some of the kids for a future career in medicine,” Henderson stated in the release.
Maryland Elementary is a neighborhood school just blocks away from Abrazo Central Campus. The hospital stays involved with health presentations and supporting a wellness room for the students, according to the release. Abrazo Central Campus is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year.
