Clinic-led event addresses growing community need for a strong workforce
GREEN BAY — As healthcare needs continue to grow across Northeast Wisconsin, BayCare Clinic is taking an active role in inspiring the future workforce. On Friday, February 13, the clinic will host a Healthcare Career Exploration Event designed to introduce local high school students to the many careers required to care for the community.
Healthcare depends on more than physicians and nurses alone. Careers in diagnostic imaging, surgical support, clinic operations, technology and patient services all contribute to creating a strong healthcare system. BayCare Clinic created the "Love Your Future in Healthcare" event to help students understand the importance of these roles in community health and how attainable they can be with the right education and support.
Throughout the day, BayCare Clinic providers and employees will host informational tables and share real-world insight into their careers. Students will learn how local healthcare professionals build meaningful careers while caring for neighbors, friends and family close to home.
Representatives from St. Norbert College, Northeast Wisconsin Technical College and the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay will also participate, helping students explore educational pathways that align with workforce needs in the region. By connecting students directly with both healthcare professionals and educators, the event highlights how early awareness can help sustain access to care across the Fox Cities and Greater Green Bay area.
The event will take place at Aurora BayCare Medical Center, with participating high schools rotating through scheduled sessions during the school day. The event is coordinated directly with schools and is not open to the public, allowing students to focus on learning and engaging with professionals. BayCare Clinic coordinates logistics and transportation as part of its commitment to reducing barriers for schools and families.
