Penn Highlands- The End

Things have been calm at the hospital since my last blog.

I worked on collecting information and organizing it for a website for our plastic surgeon. It took a few days to understand how the information needed to be set up, but it will be pretty cool to be able to look at the website when it's finished and say that I wrote some of the copy for it

Our biggest fundraiser for hospice is the annual Chili Bowl. I created a news release, radio commercial and took a picture to help promote the event. I also got to tour the radio station while the lady in charge of hospice recorded an interview.

I also got to work with the graphic designer and create two other brochures. And also made a list of posts that can be shared on the Penn Highlands Facebook at later dates.

I wrote a news release for the volunteer coordinator to tell the community what the volunteers at the hospital do and also to inform them that we are in need of volunteers.

My final article for my internship was about BBQ Safety. I worked with the hospital dietitian and created the article. It was fun because after I wrote the article I made my boyfriend and my brother pose by the grill so that I could include a picture with the article.

Since I’ve been finished with my internship for a few weeks I’ve been reflecting on my time spent at Penn Highlands. I truly believe that my Williamsport Crosscutter internship falling through was the best thing that could have happened for me. I loved every minute of my internship and I learned so much. I really enjoyed getting to work with people who work in different departments of the hospital. Not only did I learn about PR stuff I also got to interact and learn about different things that happen in the hospital. Amy taught me a lot about how to write for a paper and about AP format. This internship has me extremely excited to graduate in May and pursue a career in public relations.
