BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Med Center Health is pleased to announce the opening of applications for the 2026 Summer Teen Ambassador Program.

According to Med Center Health, this program offers high school students a unique opportunity to explore careers in healthcare, while making a meaningful difference through volunteer service.
