PPMC's Take Your Child to Work Day 2014 — in photos!

Penn Presbyterian Medical Center (PPMC)’s annual Take Your Child to Work Day — wherein hundreds of children are led through various stations in the hospital, learning about the inner workings and interesting aspects of a daily job at the hospital — fell on April 24 this year, and featured stations where the children could learn about hand sanitation, food services, laboratory procedures, laparoscopy, and stroke identification and care.

The kids also got to check out the medical lifts nurses use in orthopaedic surgery to help patients with mobility. Many of them even hopped into the lift and got a free ride above the bed, watched over by the nurses of PPMC.

There was also a yogurt parfait station. As you might imagine, it was a hit.
