In total, the Memorial Hospital awarded four scholarships totaling $10,500 to students from School District 1 and School District 2. The scholarship funds are a combination of donations from Memorial Hospital, the Memorial Hospital Medical Staff, and the Memorial Hospital Medical Executive Committee.

As Dr. Dansie stated earlier this month, “It is the privilege and responsibility of physicians to provide these scholarships as an act of goodwill, not only does it honors the heath and success of our rising generation but it honors our title of “doctor”. After all, doctor is “teacher” in Latin.”
