St. Charles Parish Hospital, in collaboration with the St. Charles Parish Public School System, recently hosted three teacher interns from the School-to-Career Program. The participants for this year’s program were LeAnn Delatte, Amy DeLaune and LaWanna Davis from Destrehan High School.
This unique two-day program offers local educators an opportunity to get a better understanding of the health care environment. Among the subjects that are covered are various careers their students may be interested in pursuing, as well as the schooling required, areas of academic strength needed for particular fields of study, salary ranges and the daily demands of various jobs. The first-hand experience they gain enables them to return to their classrooms and better educate students about particular jobs in the health care field, as well as enhance the material being taught in their classes with an application to health care-related professions.  
The program began with a brief orientation followed by an informative tour of the hospital. On the second day of the internship, the teachers were able to interact closely with the different departments. All participants agreed that it was a very informative and interesting program.
