Classes range from one hour to full-day training and are provided at no charge to schools and area fire personnel. “The medical field has always been something that has interested me, but I never had any specific ca- reer I’ve wanted to take,” says Shawna Ferrell, one of Heather Johnson’s 11th-grade health students at Sisters High School. “The ECAHEC visit was so much fun and a good experience to figure out what I wanted to do. Doing CPR on ‘Carl’ felt so real – like an actual person. I even got a chance to intubate him. From the experience I’ve come to the conclusion that I would enjoy any emergency medical field.” In addition to traveling and providing workshops the ECAHEC also coordinates Diagnosis Day, a program for high school students from rural Central Oregon with an interest in healthcare careers. Student participants follow a “patient” from incident to ambulance to emergency room.

During Diagnosis Day, a typical scenario shows the “patients” presenting with something the students can identify with, like a bike ac- cident where a helmet wasn’t worn or trauma from a car accident caused by distracted driving. the eCaheC visit was so much fun and a good experience to figure out what I wanted to do. — Shawna Ferrell “We hope to inspire the next generation of healthcare workers,” says Papke. “Now, with the ambulance donation, we have a great vehicle to take to our workshops throughout the region and market what we are doing.” photo by JiM cornelius Sisters Farmers’ Market is underway at Barclay Park on Friday afternoons from 2 to 5:30 p.m. through summer. ~ Old-Fashioned Hometown Service ~ Do YOU know the Top 10 things buyers look for?
