Wes Watkins Scratch and Patch

Students in the Medical Office Technology program read “Franklin goes to the Hospital” to a group of second-grade students.

Wes Watkins Technology Center’s (WWTC) Health Occupation programs hosted an event for Wetumka second graders called “Scratch N Patch” Hospital.

All health programs took part in this event, which was designed to provide a pediatric clinical experience to the health care students and educate children about careers in the health-care field. An added benefit is that it may make children less afraid of hospitals in case they or one of their family members must have surgery or be admitted to a hospital.
