Craig First Graders Visit CH-F
Craig first graders got
an inside look at what it is like to visit Community Hospital-Fairfax on April 6.
Mrs. Bredensteiner’s class
visited with Ashlee Driskell, staff LPN for Pediatric Orientation, an activity that
the hospital’s development council has been providing area students for many years.
The first graders tested
out a patient bed, weighed themselves and listened to their heartbeats with stethoscopes.
They took wheelchair rides and visited the nursery where many of them were born.
Steve Blackard, laboratory
manager, talked about visiting the lab and having blood drawn and expressed to the
class that the procedure wouldn’t hurt if they had to visit him. Radiology manager
Beth Mackey brought x-rays to show the students
Pediatric Orientation introduces
the children to the hospital so they are familiar with procedures and staff they
would meet if they were admitted to the hospital.
Mrs. Bredensteiner’s first
graders who visited the hospital were: Sierra Bliesner, Jaelynn Hill, Skyler Hufford,
Ryan Lewis, Cody Lundblade, Gage McClain, William Miller, Paige Stoner, Jordan Twyman
and Selena Welch.
