Bridgehampton Students Learn About Healthcare Careers

April 30, 2019: How does a student choose a career? Healthcare is a strong industry both in the present and future. But what about whether they can afford the career they have chosen and what does it take to get there?

That is the objective of the May 2 Bridgehampton High School and the May 6 Bridgehampton Middle School Healthcare Careers Days. The events will be held from 8:00 am-2:30 pm. Students will have the opportunity to meet in small groups with the following healthcare professionals:

Bridgehampton Massage Associates--Kevin Reynolds

Sag Harbor Pharmacy--Greg Pertucci

First Company Pink/Got Checked--Linda Bonnano

Stony Brook Physician Assistant Program--Jesse Inkles, Kathryn Chinn, Kaitlyn Rolando, Elaine Atwell, Danielle Aarons

Gwendolyn's Personal Home Care--Gwendolyn Davis

Manual & Sports Physical Therapy--Thomas Spagnoli

Healthy Expressions by Joyce/Juice Plus--Joyce Rogalin

Onward Productions--Erin Ley

Stony Brook Southampton Hospital--Samantha Federico

YMCA--Daniel Sierra, Dennis Johnson

The Retreat Domestic Violence Services--Logan Kingston

Zwanger-Pesiri--Amanda Ruiz

In addition, sponsors who are financial representatives, including Christina Lentini from State Farm and Jean Dowd from Fairway Mortgage will assist the high school students with budgets and middle school students with a vision board. Linda Bonanno from First Company Pink/Got Checked with share her personal story as the motivational speaker. A luncheon experience will be based on student budgets and promotional rewards will be given to students staying most closely to their budgets.

Thank you to BNB Bank for their generous sponsorship of the snack for both career days and their support of financial literacy for all ages.
