Activities

BEAM-(Bridging Education and Medicine) is an ongoing partnership between Olathe Medical Center and the Olathe School District High Schools. Ongoing activities include the Olathe Medical Center Career Night, job shadowing, volunteering and Senior Semester Placement. Additional information can be obtained from high school counselors.

Play Hospital is an annual event presented to first-graders from the Olathe, Gardner-Edgerton and Spring Hill school districts during March and April. This unique program was created to teach children about what they might experience if they needed hospital care. Important health, wellness and safety information is also incorporated into the program. Students play the part of the patient and healthcare team in various "medical situations" that are presented by a registered nurse.
