Patterson is a student in Aultman Hospital's Career Academy, which offers 35 area high school students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the hospital setting and gives them an advantage for medical and nursing school and other health-related careers. The students report to the hospital four days a week during the school year to learn about health care and earn class credit. The students also participate in one-on-one clinical, non-clinical and group classroom lessons at the hospital.
