In partnership with Virginia Mason Franciscan Healthcare of Seattle, Build 2 Lead visited the VMFH hospital on July 26th for a full day experience. Curated by VMFH staff and P.O.W.E.R Partner Najmah Messiah, students were able to immerse themselves in activities such as:
The Hyperbaric Chamber Experience
Visiting the Benaroya Research Institute with a focus on isolating cells.
Visiting the Operating Room (OR) with a focus on lung cancer screening strategies.
College and Career Readiness with a focus on pathway/pipeline development for BIPOC youth and young adults.
