Lee Health and Lee County School District foundation to host annual STEM@Work at Coconut Point facility

By Staff | Sep 12, 2024

Lee Health, in collaboration with The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools, will host the highly anticipated STEM@Work Sept. 18 and 19, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at Lee Health Coconut Point. The annual event will bring together over 300 students from the School District of Lee County to explore careers in healthcare with engaging hands-on activities, facility tours and interactions with industry leaders.

Now recognized as the Career Exploration Opportunities through STEM@Work, this program is supported by The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools. The two-day event provides an invaluable opportunity for high school students to gain insight into various healthcare professions, explore potential career paths and connect with Lee Health’s Human Resources Workforce Development and Recruitment teams to discuss future opportunities for the students’ futures.

In addition to healthcare professions, students will also hear from leadership of B&I Contractors to learn about future opportunities in contracting, construction and building solutions. B&I Contractors has offices across southern Florida specializing in mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems for commercial and industrial industries.

Lee Health is a supporter of the Foundation’s STEM Initiative. This initiative offers students the opportunity to participate in field trips and internships, as well as experience hands-on activities through partnerships with businesses in the community.

Lee Health Coconut Point, located in southern Lee County near U.S. 41, provides comprehensive healthcare services. With a full emergency department, the location treats emergencies, in addition to offering general outpatient surgeries and specialties. Additionally, the Coconut Point facility offers regular wellness activities and educational trainings to support the improved health and wellness of the community.
