Share This Press Release

Northwest Hospital  in Randallstown announced its partnership with Windsor Mill Middle School in the Adopt-a-School program today at a "Freedom to Explore” event held at the middle school.

"As a part of the fabric of the community, Northwest Hospital has a responsibility to help those whom we serve,” said Erik Wexler, president and COO of Northwest Hospital. "This program allows us to provide programming for students and to educate them about the role of health care in our community. We are thrilled to have launched this relationship with the Windsor Mill School.”

The Freedom to Explore initiative engages Northwest Hospital team members with students while they explore the worlds of science, technology, engineering and math. Each month, a different health professional or group of professionals will visit the school to talk to students about career opportunities in the allied health care field. Students will also have the opportunity to visit the hospital for hands-on learning. Throughout the school year, employees from the hospital will also provide mentoring and job-shadowing opportunities.

"These types of interactions give young people the freedom to explore their interests, broaden the scope of their expectations and reach new heights of achievement,” said Wexler.

Northwest Hospital  is a member of LifeBridge Health, a regional health organization, which includes Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, Levindale Hebrew Geriatric Center and Hospital, Jewish Convalescent & Nursing Home, and related subsidiaries and affiliates.
