Bay County businesses give disabled students a glimpse of working life

Students from John Glenn, Bay City Central and Bay City Western high schools learned that smiles and a good attitude are the key to successful employment in the working world Tuesday morning at the Bay Regional Medical Center. Both students and the medical center were participating in Disability Mentoring Day, a part of National Disability Employment Awareness Month. “It was great,” Junior Paige Thomas, 16 of Bay City Central said. “It was just an eye-opener on the various fields that Bay Med has to offer.” Greg Purtell, Vice President of Human Resources at Bay Regional Medical Center, said he was happy to have the students visit the hospital for the first time. “I thought it would be a great thing for us and a great thing for the students,” he said.
