Weeks Medical Center held its annual Scholarship Awards Ceremony on Thursday, June 11th at the Weeks Hospital Get Away Café. Five scholarships were highlighted, benefiting eight recipients including area high school students and Weeks Medical Center employees.
The purpose of the Weeks Medical Center Scholarship Program is to provide financial support to graduating seniors or employees of Weeks Medical Center interested in pursuing a health career or advancing their professional training. According to CEO Scott Howe, “The scholarships are from two sources. The memorial scholarship awards are from interest earned on funds donated to Weeks Medical Center for a specific scholarship. The Educational Assistance Program is funded by Weeks Medical Center to encourage staff to pursue additional training and/or certifications in the medical/nursing field.”
