MedTrack juniors and seniors
participated in a “Stop the Bleed” training session sponsored by the local U.S. Army Medical Recruiting Station in Middleburg Heights.

Students also learned how they can pursue most healthcare professions in the military, with the government often funding scholarships or
tuition reimbursement for their commitment to service.
