Partnership & CTAE in Action - One Heartbeat at a Time! 💛

In recognition of American Heart Month, the Calhoun City Schools HR Department (Employee Benefits) partnered with AdventHealth Gordon and College & Career Academy healthcare students to provide on-site heart checks for employees.

On the path to CNA certification, students continue gaining real-world clinical experience. This event offered a meaningful opportunity to conduct supervised blood pressure screenings while supporting staff wellness.
