Rosemary Leach, a senior at Mercer Island High School, donned a surgical mask and gloves. She was getting prepared to enter an operating room at Swedish Medical Center, where she would witness transplant surgeons and staff at work.
Leach was chosen as a winner in the Job Shadow essay contest sponsored by Swedish Medical Center and LifeCenter Northwest. With two other area high school students, Leach was able to see firsthand a team of professionals at their lifesaving work of organ transplantation.
