Each year UHS Delaware Valley Hospital holds a MASH Camp for students in grades 10-12. The event is an opportunity for students to learn more about healthcare careers and the educational requirements for those careers. This year the camp will be held on Wednesday and Thursday October 15 and 16. Students should choose which day they would like to attend.

Students attend one full day of camp, during which they visit each patient care area of the hospital, speak with the staff, and in many departments, have a hands-on experience. Students will spend time in primary care, the emergency department, lab, pharmacy, radiology, the medical unit, cardiopulmonary (respiratory) and physical therapy departments. Because the day is very interactive, participation is limited to 30 students. Applications can be obtained from the guidance office in area schools or you may contact the UHS Delaware Valley Hospital Human Resource Department at 607-865-2171 and speak with Cindy Gardepe, Director. The deadline for applications is October 9.
