Plattsburgh, NY – New Visions is a program that allows high school seniors to shadow and work with professionals in the field they plan to study in college. It's not a new program nationally, but after ten years of planning, Champlain Valley Educational Services this year implemented a pilot New Visions program in conjunction with the CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh. North Country Bureau Chief Pat Bradley recently spent an afternoon with some of the New Visions medical students on their rounds.
