You've heard, "Together we are better!" Nothing could be more true! The DEN is proud to partner with Evans Memorial Hospital to create a special Emergency Room space for kids. Construction and Art pathway students are assisting Beth Stewart, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, with the design and actual work, and Audio-Video students are helping document the process to share with other hospitals and our community. Today the pathway students visited the proposed space and presented two beautiful treasure boxes, which they created, to the hospital staff. These boxes will be filled with prizes that will make the sometimes scary visit to the doctor a happy one. Thank you, EMH, for this opportunity to share our students' gifts and talents with the community! #TheDEN @EvansMemorialHospital
