AIM-HI - a career exploration program that provides 10-12th-grade students within the Geisinger geographical footprint who are interested in exploring careers in healthcare the opportunity to gain firsthand experience in a hospital setting.

What a happy bunch!! The Altoona Area School District Foundation President, Brendan Moran along with Paula Foreman, Executive Director were thrilled to accept this $5,000 donation from JSSB to help with the Educator-in-Residence Program.
