Yesterday, Brown Clinic participated in the Watertown Multi District’s Career Fair at the Watertown Senior High School. We shared our knowledge about our health care careers with students and gave them the opportunity to learn more by playing medical jepeordy. Stef Carlson above was the master-mind behind the interactive game that really helped students learn more about medical careers. Our booth won first place for most interactive and we were thrilled to have that honor! Below is a picture of our group. We represented several career fields including radiology, lab, nursing, health care administration, HR, and dietetics.

This is one of my favorite times of the year…I love fresh garden produce! Some friends gave me a few melons they grew in their garden. Here is a picture of the fresh cantaloupe I have been enjoying. Cantaloupe is very high in vitamin A (beta carotene) and vitamin C. In addition there’s only about 50 calories in a cup, which makes it a pretty good treat or addition to your meal! Check out the local farmer’s markets for locally grown produce and enjoy!
