MONROE — SSM Health Monroe Hospital is excited to offer eighth grade students an opportunity to learn about health care professions through its Club Scrub program. 

The goal of this free after-school program is to increase awareness of health care careers. The program is designed to provide consistent and engaging exposure to various health care professions through eight interactive sessions over a period of three months.

Students will have the opportunity to speak with health care professionals and participate in hands-on activities that will allow them to experience firsthand what it might be like to work in a variety of health care settings such as Cardiac Cath Lab, Emergency Department, Family Medicine Residency, Operating Room, Pharmacy, Eye Care, Orthopedics and Physical Therapy.  

Club Scrub will start Oct. 9 and end Dec. 18 with a graduation ceremony. Each session will be held on Wednesdays from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. at SSM Health Monroe Hospital, 515 22nd Avenue, Monroe, Wisconsin. Applications are due by Sept. 20.
