Montrose Memorial Hospital is offering a LEAD program to help community members better understand medicine and the complex issues driving health care today. LEAD, which stands for Leadership, Exploration and Development, is designed to give participants a behind-the-scenes look at the health care industry and its impact on the community. Participants have one-of-a-kind experiences and gain insight into medical and technological advances through access to areas of Montrose Memorial Hospital not commonly available to the public. By the end of the program, participants will have obtained a working knowledge of the health care needs of our community and how Montrose Memorial Hospital is meeting those needs. The LEAD Program begins September 21 and meets 7-9 a.m. LEAD will continue to meet on the third Thursday of each month through May 2018. For information on participating, contact Jenni Zimmer at 252-2744.
