Campbell County High School student Riley Orchard covers her mouth as she watches a human cadaver demonstration during a Kids and Cadavers event at Campbell County Memorial Hospital in Gillette. Students experienced a number of lessons and gross-outs during the demonstration, which featured local orthopedic surgeons and human cadavers provided by Arthrex.

What a learning experience!

Airchair Mar 14, 2023 6:39pm

My father used to say more positive things happen by accident in Gillette than on purpose anywhere else in the state. We are such a positive thinking community that provides tremendous opportunities for people who want to learn, experience and succeed!!! This event is another wonderful example of that!!!❤️
