Lillooet Secondary students get head start in health-care careers

June 26, 2025
Lillooet Secondary students Karleen Alec, left, and Chloe Falk are eyeing careers in health care after taking part in a volunteer and work experience program with School District 74 and Lillooet Hospital & Health Centre.

Fostering the next generation of home-grown health-care workers is at the heart of a successful volunteer and work experience partnership between staff at Lillooet Hospital & Health Centre and School District 74 (SD74).

Thanks to the collaboration, several local Lillooet students got a closer look into health care as a profession this year. So far, they like what they see, with two grade 12 students enrolled into post-secondary schools this fall to become registered nurses.
