EPH Assists EPHS Senior with Content for National Competition
In the fall of 2024, Estes Park High School senior Jerilyn Fisher visited Estes Park Health to capture images of health care workers performing their roles and responsibilities. The photos were part of a health career photography competition for HOSA, formerly known as Health Occupations Students of America, an organization that empowers students pursuing health and biomedical professions through education, collaboration and experience.
Fisher, who served as president of the EPHS chapter of HOSA during her senior year, is interested in pursuing a career in neuropsychology.
In April, EPH learned Fisher placed in the top ten at the Colorado competition with the images she photographed at the hospital in the fall. Reaching that level at the state contest meant Fisher would represent Colorado at the national competition, which takes place June 18 to 21 in Nashville, Tenn.
Fisher returned to EPH last month to photograph three new medical professionals in action for the next round of the competition. She learned about and photographed staff in the radiology, med-surg and MRI departments for her next set of photo entries.
“I loved the MRI room today,” said Fisher while at EPH in May. “It aligns with what I want to do with neuropsychology, and I think MRI gives us a different aspect to see our anatomy.”
Fisher, who graduated from EPHS last month, will attend the University of Colorado – Colorado Springs this fall to pursue a major in psychology.
EPH wishes her the best of luck at nationals!
