MMC Explorer Post #175 had their first meeting of the school year and learned about the various roles of the Operating Room during an interactive experience in the Cranmer Ambulatory Surgery Center. They were able to practice suturing with fruits and also looked inside a real operating room to learn about teamwork, cleanliness, patient safety. The Medical Exploring program gives local students the opportunity to explore careers in health care and to gain leadership experience. Each session is presented by a healthcare professional, who guides students through the field, including the education and pathways necessary to secure a job. Thank you to the OR nurses, nurse educators, and scrub techs for volunteering their time and providing a wonderful experience to our Explorers!

In Jersey, the holidays aren’t just one night. They’re every laugh that echoes down the hallway, every neighbor who waves from the drive, and every late shift spent making someone else’s season a little brighter.

It’s joy, family, and the small stuff that feels big this time of year.

Happy, healthy holidays from RWJBarnabas Health.
