SoutheastHEALTH Foundation Announces Scholarship Awards
SoutheastHEALTH Foundation has announced recipients of healthcare scholarships made possible by the Foundation and the generosity of individual and family donors. Twenty-five students received $30,000 in scholarship awards.
SoutheastHEALTH Foundation Executive Director Darah Jirkovsky said, “Because of the generosity of donors, our scholarship recipients are working to enter a field dedicated to helping others, which is more important now than ever before. These programs make a difference to patients and the communities we serve, as scholars meet their academic goals and enter the healthcare work force.”
