One of the most meaningful moments in the HOPE Program is when students see their loved ones in action.

Ironton St. Joseph student Eli Whaley had the chance to observe his dad, Anesthesia Services Manager Andy Whaley, during our Surgical Services rotation.

Russell students Cayden and Jayden Pennington also got a glimpse into their mom’s world, visiting Emergency Department Senior Nurse Leader Amanda Clark.

Moments like these go beyond career exploration, they’re a powerful reminder that inspiration often starts at home. The HOPE Program has the potential to inspire the next generation of patient care tomorrow.
