CCCHC Receives R-COOL-Health Scrubs Camp of the Year Award

Jun 30, 2025 Award, Scrubs Camp

We’re excited to share that our 2025 Scrubs Camp was named the R-COOL-Health Scrubs Camp of the Year at this year’s Dakota Conference on Rural and Public Health in Bismarck!

This award is presented to the grantee that hosts the top Scrubs Camp of the year, based on a combination of factors—including the range of healthcare professions students are exposed to, innovative and interactive activities, strong collaboration with community partners and local healthcare professionals, and overall camp organization.

This year marked our 10th Scrubs Camp, and we’re proud to have reached more than 1,400 eighth-grade students from the Beulah, Center-Stanton, Hazen, and Killdeer School Districts over the years.

A big thank you and congratulations to our healthcare partners who helped make the 2025 camp such a success: Sakakawea Medical Center, Mercer County Ambulance, Knife River Care Center, Hazen Smiles, and the Community HealthCare Association of the Dakotas. We couldn’t do it without you!
