Tell us about your first day at HHS. My first day at HHS was a big first day of learning! I began my morning with only two elementary school aged patients in the School Room, which gave us a great opportunity to learn from each other and get acquainted. I also had a chance to explore the wards to meet other new potential students. The setting is completely different than a traditional school. I feel privileged to be able to engage patients in learning while they are receiving care.
