SoutheastHEALTH Foundation scholarship recipients and the individuals who are helping them earn degrees in the healthcare field were honored at a luncheon held recently at the Jackson Civic Center. The event celebrated the success of 24 students who received $47,200 in scholarship awards. Guest speaker was Dr. Steven Langdon, President of the Southeast Missouri Hospital College of Nursing and Health Sciences.

SoutheastHEALTH Foundation Executive Director Patti Ranzini said, "Because of the generosity of donors, our scholarship recipients are working to enter a field dedicated to helping others. Our scholarship programs not only make a difference to patients, but also to our communities, as scholars meet their academic goals and enter the healthcare work force."
