SCTC Health Services Students Visit Mississippi State Hospital
Students at Simpson County Technical Center recently enjoyed a visit to the Mississippi State Hospital Museum on the Whitfield campus. The field trip was attended by students enrolled in introductory and secondary Health Sciences and Health Informatics classes.
During the museum visit, community affairs coordinator Donna Brown gave a historical overview of the treatment of mental illness in the state, centering on the critical role played by the Mississippi State Hospital. Students saw many exhibits such as the original hydrotherapy rooms, needle spray showers and a fever box. They also learned methods about modern-day approaches for treating mental illness.
Careers in nursing and other areas of service were shared with students interested in this field of study.
