City School Traveler Community Wraps Up Unit on Body with Tour of NMC

St. Albans-- First, second, and third grade students from the St. Albans City School's "Traveler" Learning Community visited Northwestern Medical Center on Thursday this week for a tour of the hospital.  The Traveler Community has been studying the human body, and the visit to NMC helped the students see some of the areas they’ve been studying in person.  Each class toured four areas of the hospital: Diagnostic Imaging, the Laboratory, the Emergency Department, and the Family Birth Center.  For more information about NMC, please visit www.northwesternmedicalcenter.org.  

Some photos from their tour:

In the NMC Blood Bank, Laboratory Technologist Bob Bessette discussed blood and blood types with the touring students.

Chelsea Mulheron, RN, of the NMC Emergency Room, hooked second grader Aidin Repsher to a heart monitor and asked him to jog in place to demonstrate how the heart rate increases with exercise.

 Touring students enjoyed a peek through the Family Birth Center’s Nursery windows to see a new baby girl being held by Jean Leahy, RN.
