Allen College - UnityPoint Health

Day 3 of Health Careers Nurse Camp 🩺

Today our campers took the next step in their hands-on learning! Students split into three groups and went to one of three critical access hospitals:

📍 Buchanan County Health Center (Independence)
📍 Grundy County Memorial Hospital (Grundy Center)
📍 Community Memorial Hospital (Sumner)

Our group in Independence jumped right in—learning CPR and even practicing how to give injections! 💉👏

We’re proud of their enthusiasm and commitment as they explore careers in healthcare. Stay tuned for more highlights throughout the week!

There is still room for you to learn about Allen College's Hybrid DPT program! Register today!

Today we recognize Juneteenth, a day that commemorates June 19, 1865—when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas were informed of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

Juneteenth is a time to reflect on the enduring pursuit of freedom and equality, while also celebrating Black history, culture, and contributions. It became a federal holiday in 2021.
