While many see the front-facing roles in a hospital, our Project SEARCH interns are mastering the critical "behind-the-scenes" work that keeps everything moving.

In the Environmental Services (EVS) department, students are learning the complexities of inventory management—filling specific orders for various departments and ensuring every floor is stocked with the essential supplies they need to treat patients. It’s a fast-paced environment that requires organization, physical stamina, and precision.

We are so proud of our learners for stepping up to these essential roles!
