UnityPoint Health — Fort Dodge is always on the lookout for new talent to meet the demand for health care workers.

That is why it developed a paid summer internship program that high school juniors and seniors can participate in along with college students.

“We know that health care careers are really important for the community,” said Leah Glasgo, president of UnityPoint Health — Fort Dodge.

The interns will participate in a five-week program. This summer, the first session will begin June 2 and the second session will begin July 7.

During each session, participants can select a clinical or non-clinical program.

The clinical option includes the emergency room, dietitians, inpatient nursing, occupational and physical therapy, clinics and cardiac rehabilitation.

The non-clinical option includes administration, finance, health information, information technology, maintenance, marketing and communications, nutritional services and social work.
