MHA, KCMHC Invite Hospitals To Participate In Kansas City Health Care Career Event

Staff Contact: Keara "Key" Okolo

The Kansas City Metropolitan Healthcare Council, a partnership between the Kansas and Missouri hospital associations, invites hospitals and health care employers to participate in the Explore Your Future in Health Care event scheduled for 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 23, at Hy-Vee Arena in Kansas City, Mo.  

This hands-on career exploration event is designed to introduce middle and high school students to the wide variety of career paths available in hospitals and health care organizations. There are two ways hospitals and health systems can get involved.

  • Host an interactive exhibit or a hands-on station showcasing an activity that lasts 5 minutes or less. Examples may include pig lungs, glow germ, ultrasound probes or X-rays. Register for an interactive exhibit.
  • Participate as a Next Steps exhibitor, where students learn about programs, admissions, scholarships, apprenticeships and hiring. This track is best suited for recruiters, counselors, education partners and community organizations. Register for a Next Steps exhibitor

Participating in this event gives your organization a chance to inspire future talent, connect with fellow health care employers, and be part of a growing ecosystem committed to career exploration and navigation.  

For more information, review the overview slide deck and watch a brief video from last year’s event.
