New Celebrity Introduces Students to Need, Advantages of Health Care Careers

From PR Newswire: Government and Policy:

"We desperately need more young people to pursue health care occupations to meet the growing needs of Pennsylvanians," Governor Edward G. Rendell said.

"These occupations not only promise the opportunity to save and improve lives, but they pay well and there are plenty of openings and chances to advance.

Governor Rendell has designated Nov. 5 - 9 as Health Careers Week with the theme, "Become a Health Care Hero."

Students will participate in local events highlighting the many career opportunities available in the heath care industry.

This year's Health Careers Week focuses on 16 specific occupations in critical need of qualified workers statewide: behavioral health; clinical laboratory sciences; dental hygienists and assistants; emergency medical technicians and paramedics; direct care workers; health information systems; medical imaging; medical secretary; medical transcription; nursing; occupational therapy; pharmacy; physical therapy; respiratory therapy; social work and surgical technology.

For a success story of a health care hero in your area, contact the Department of Labor & Industry at 717-787-7530.

The Rendell administration is committed to creating a first-rate public education system, protecting our most vulnerable citizens and continuing economic investment to support our communities and businesses.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Health Careers Week 2007 is sponsored by the Pennsylvania Center for Health Careers and the Pennsylvania Workforce Investment Board, in cooperation with dozens of public and private entities, including the state's 22 Local Workforce Investment Boards; the Departments of Labor & Industry, Health and Education; the Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania; numerous health care, postsecondary and higher educational institutions and organized labor.
