Thank you to UTHSC for a great experience in the new sim lab. The HOSA students learned a lot! They especially enjoyed learning how to deliver a baby, use a sonogram, clear an airway and practice laparoscopic surgery.

Yesterday the Board of TCWD was honored to announce the Mary Layne Van Cleave scholarship award for eligible high school seniors. Mary Layne is the longtime COO of the Tennessee Hospital Association. We are so grateful for her constant support for healthcare education in TN.

The competitive award will be given to a 12th grade Tennessee HOSA student planning to pursue a healthcare career. Students must be nominated by their HOSA advisor. Further details will be available on our website following the Tennessee state HOSA convention on March 28th.
