On April 30th, Marion High School 11th and 12th grade Anatomy and Physiology students went on a field trip to visit the Freeman Regional Hospital lab. In addition to learning about the different tests performed in the lab, Mr. Epp participated in the Avera Planet Heart screenings. Students were able to see how blood samples are tested as well as observe both CT and Ultrasound imaging. Through the imaging process, the students were able to see how the heart, blood vessels and other organs look. Thank you to Julie Crick and all of the FRHS staff that helped with this visit. We appreciate you providing this unique educational experience for our students!
