Sutter Coast Hosts Pre-School Healthcare Exploration

Sutter Coast Hospital hosted its second annual Healthcare Exploration, last Tuesday at Sutter Coast Hospital.

Carroll Christie, MD, Chief Health Executive at Sutter Coast and teacher Colly Klein welcomed 34 preschoolers for a two session introduction to the world of medicine at Sutter Coast Hospital.  Kids learned about X-Rays, Echo Cardiogram demonstrations, an interactive replica of one’s lungs, kids experienced stethoscopes and listened to their heart beat pumps. 

Dr. Christie assuaged kids’ fear of this unknown world to these four and five yearolds, sparked interest, including planting the seeds for future careers, explored and educated  these bright  young folks.

Dr. Christie labeled the Exploration as a pilot program with intent to expand next year to more kids and different ages groups in Crescent City.
