We also had our Program Coordinator, Keyasia Meade, representing our Health Careers team out in the region at the Henderson County Health Science Career Cafe hosted at Innovative High School!

This was a great opportunity for students to learn more about our Pathway Programs and health career opportunities in a casual Q&A setting.

We ❤ our Hendersonville partners!!

12/12/2025

Last month, our Health Careers team had such a meaningful morning with Henderson County educators – from elementary to middle to high school CTE. Their dedication, creativity, and genuine care for their students is inspiring.

We loved sharing more about MAHEC’s Pathway Programming and giving a behind-the-scenes look at the Simulation Center. Moments like these remind us how much possibility lives in our classrooms and how powerful it is when educators and community partners work together to open doors for students.

We’re grateful for their commitment and excited for what we’ll build together for the next generation of health care professionals!
