⚕ HANDS-ON LEARNING | Students in the Academies of Louisville's Health Science academies at four JCPS high schools recently got a chance to tour Baptist Health Louisville to learn about various careers in the medical field. They even got to try their hand at cutting off a cast! Thank you to Baptist Health and the Orthopedics team—"the only unit with a funny bone"—for this engaging visit! #WeAreJCPS #k12education #publicschools #powerfulpartnerships
