NYC Health + Hospitals/Coney Island, also known as Coney Island Hospital, partnered with UFT last week to host more than 500 students from District 21 schools and teach them about various healthcare professions.
Students from PS 329, PS 253, PS 216 and PS 100 attended three professional development days at the hospital — from May 10 to May 12 — during which 3rd, 4th and 5th graders were introduced many professions in health care and encouraged to focus on S.T.E.M. (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).
