Summer 2023 Scholar mixer with Kaiser Permanente clinical and administrative leaders
A special thanks to our Emeritus Board Member, Alfonse Upshaw for hosting this wonderful event!
Kennedy-King scholars attended a summer mixer along with KP clinical and administrative leaders to discuss careers in healthcare, on July 22nd. The mixer provided an opportunity for scholars to network with healthcare professionals and discuss career paths ranging from nursing to healthcare technology. It was a great experience for both professionals and scholars to share food and conversation.
