Last Thursday, McLeod Regional Medical Center hosted Junior Leadership Florence County as part of their Healthcare Day sessions throughout the county. Twenty-eight students toured the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the Operating Rooms and Air Reach helicopter.

Junior Leadership Florence County is a ten-month program in which area high school sophomores and juniors are empowered to become trustees of the Florence County community. Throughout the program, students learn a variety of valuable leadership skills including time management, community issue awareness, and business ethics. The program also provides training in the area of personal development, skills training, volunteering opportunities and team building. Junior Leadership Florence County is presented by the Florence County Extension Service/4-H Youth Development, The Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce and Francis Marion University with the support from local businesses to provide professional personnel, facilities, and other aspects of the sessions throughout the school year.
