Southern Hills Hospital Welcomes 75 Kindergartners for Doctor in Training Day

On Friday, November 15th Southern Hills Hospital and Medical Center welcomed 75 Kindergartners from Faith Lutheran Elementary School. The students participated in a 'Doctor in Training' day which included a baby boot camp, operating room, and so much more.

The 5 and 6 year olds rotated through three stations: Operating room, baby boot camp, and first responder meet and greet. During the baby boot camp, the kindergartners learned how to care for a baby including, swaddling, feeding, changing a diaper and weighing their baby. In a different part of the hospital, students scrubbed in and dressed like a real surgeon and practiced their care on a 'patient' in our makeshift operating room. Finally, students got to interact with first responders including AMR, Mercy Air, and Clark County Fire. Mercy Air even landed a helicopter for the students.
