Launch Augusta hosts 9th annual health care camp at Augusta University
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Launch Augusta hosted its ninth annual Launch Camp at Augusta University on Saturday, welcoming students from 13 Georgia counties to explore careers in health care.
Organizers said the event aims to inspire the next generation of medical professionals by connecting students with experts across more than 25 health-related fields.
Students rotated through clinic simulations, demonstrations and other hands-on, interactive learning experiences. Former Launch Camp participants also returned to volunteer.
“It’s so important to have this exposure at a young age because if you don’t know it exists, there’s things you may not even open your mind to,” said Dr. Kendra Broussard, president and founder, Launch Augusta. “We serve as low as kindergarten students, and they are getting real hands-on medical procedures.”
Organizers said the camp was free to attend thanks to donors and sponsors.
