Operation Health Care Bound

Operation Health Care Bound is a one-day event for high school students between 16 and 18 interested in exploring careers in health care.

This year’s event will take place April 28, 2023.

The goal of this event is to provide students with the opportunity to explore multiple medical career options. Participating students learn about the daily work of doctors and nurses. They are also given opportunities to explore allied health departments such as pharmacy, diagnostic imaging, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and more.

For over 13 years, this annual event has introduced hundreds of southern Nevada high school students to multiple health care career options with hands-on demonstrations. As our region faces a critical shortage of health care workers in all areas of the medical industry, developing career pathways for soon-to-be high school graduates into health care is more important than ever.
