Howie the Health Care Hound
Howie is very
popular among young students throughout the state of
Mississippi. We enjoy bringing him into the community
giving him a chance to visit with classes and attend
career fairs. Howie is always anxious to go new places
and would love to come visit your classroom. If
your school or organization would like to meet Howie,
please contact Melissa Brewer at 601-368-3235. HCC
also has printable images of Howie for classroom
activities and if the kids would like, they can even send Howie an email at
howie@mshealthcareers.com. To view pictures

The MHA Health Careers Center
'Nursing Exploration' Scout Patch Program of Mississippi
The Nursing Exploration patch program is based on a similar Girl Scout
patch program in North Carolina and brought to Mississippi by the HCC as a
way to increase youth's knowledge of the variety of career opportunities
available in nursing and to increase their awareness of the growing need
for nurses. This is a great way to educate students of the many career
opportunities in healthcare. To learn more about the purpose and criteria
of the program, please click here.
