Cody Regional Health and Cody High School Strengthen Partnership to Launch Year Two of Classroom 2 Careers Initiative

August 26, 2024 – Cody, WY – Following the success of last year’s collaboration, Cody Regional Health
(CRH) and Cody High School (CHS) are excited to announce the launch of their 2024-2025 partnership.
This ongoing initiative, which is part of the second year of Park County School District 6’s Classroom 2
Careers program, aims to provide CHS scholars with real-world experiences that prepare them for future
careers.

This innovative partnership is a testament to CRH’s forward-thinking and proactive approach in serving
the young people of Cody. By aligning with Governor Gordon’s RIDE (Reimagining and Innovating the
Delivery of Education) initiative, Cody Regional Health and CHS are setting a new standard for career
readiness programs in Wyoming.

The PCSD 6 Board of Trustees, Superintendent Orndorff, and the CHS Administration, are the
driving force behind this partnership at Cody High School. Mr. Corey Young has worked closely with the
CRH administration to create a comprehensive program that not only meets the educational needs of
students but also addresses the workforce demands of the healthcare industry. “PCSD 6 is ever so grateful
for the ongoing partnership with CRH, which has allowed us to open doors for our students that were
previously unimaginable. The hands-on experience they receive through this program is invaluable as
they consider their future careers,” Superintendent Orndorff.

Under the visionary leadership of its administration, Cody Regional Health has been instrumental in
providing CHS students with unprecedented access to real-world healthcare settings. From shadowing
professionals to participating in specialized training sessions, students are given a unique opportunity to
explore potential career paths within the healthcare industry.

“Investing in the future of our community is at the core of Cody Regional with this partnership, we are
not only preparing the next generation for successful careers but also ensuring that our healthcare system
continues to thrive with skilled and passionate professionals,” CHS Principal Espeland.

This partnership represents a significant step forward in preparing Cody’s youth for the future. As the
Classroom 2 Careers initiative enters its second year, the excitement and enthusiasm surrounding the
program continue to grow. Both Cody Regional Health and Cody High School are committed to
expanding and enhancing this collaboration, ensuring that it remains a cornerstone of career readiness in
Cody.
