Information for Sponsors

The Pierce County Health Careers Council is hosting up to 900 students from all areas of Pierce County at the 5th Annual Pierce County Health Career Day.

Sponsorship Opportunities

The future of healthcare depends on the students of today.  In keeping with the mission of the Health Careers Council of Pierce County, we offer a unique opportunity to high school students to meet and interact with healthcare professionals and institutions of post secondary education to explore the vast array of opportunities in the healthcare field.

Following 2007’s event, we received feedback that the $15 student fee presented a financial hardship for some and prevented them from attending the event.  In order to allow all students to benefit from this opportunity and to reach a broader, more diverse range of students, Health Career Day is offered at no fee for students. Your sponsorship dollars will help keep this very popular event open to all interested students.

Each level provides your company with recognition exposure in event publications, on web sites, and in the exhibit hall on the day of the event.
