ACCESS HOMECARE AND HOSPICE PROUD TO SPONSOR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT


Access Home Care and Hospice is proud to serve our local communities and support the endeavors of local students. An example of this support is to a very determined and  gifted high school student in southern Idaho.
Tyona Carter is presently a junior at Preston High School in Preston, Idaho. We heard about her unique opportunity from her mother, MaRee Carter (who happens to be one of our exceptional hospice nurses). We were intrigued by her story and her determination to one day become an anesthesiologist.  She was selected to represent her high school to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum of Medicine in New York City. There are only a select few students who earn this opportunity nationwide. Access feels it a privilege to help get her to New York. She and the other students who have been selected throughout the country will be able to visit the New York University School of Medicine, New York Institute of Technology, College of Osteopathic Medicine and other prestigious institutions of education. She will also be afforded the opportunity to observe surgical procedures and assist in an emergency room, receiving valuable hands-on exposure to the field of medicine.  

Access Home Care and Hospice is excited for her and the things she will learn to help her get a few steps closer to her dream of becoming an anesthesiologist. We recognize the value of local people caring for their friends and neighbors. We wish Tyona the very best and we will be following her progress throughout the years as she gets closer to realizing her dream.  Congratulations, Tyona, and best wishes for a bright future!!!
