(Greenville, OH) May 15, 2015 - During hospital week, 110 Versailles kindergarten students visited Wayne HealthCare. As the only hospital in Darke County, many of the students were born in this hospital, which made the visit special.

The students were greeted in the hospital lobby by employee tour guides who escorted them to each department. The students visited the surgery center, cardiopulmonary, x-ray laboratory, pharmacy and emergency departments.

While in each department students learned about what happens if they are a patient and the process for specific test and procedures. The students had a lot of questions and were very eager to participate in the department activities.

“We all enjoyed the trip to the hospital. It was nice for the students to see so many departments and see firsthand what the rooms look like and hear about what happens in each part of the hospital,” said Ms. Billenstein, a teacher at the school.
