Sanford Health partnered with Minnesota West Community and Technical College in Luverne Friday to host a free camp for high school sophomores, juniors and seniors.
The event gave students an idea of what it would be like to work in the health care field, specifically as medical assistants and surgical technologists, and also an idea of what college life might look like.
Students spent part of the camp at Sanford Luverne and the other part at the Minnesota West Luverne Center.
