The Foundation for Community Care is pleased to announce the winners of its 2013 Healthcare Scholarships. The scholarship program was established to provide Richland County and rural northeastern Montana with a continuing source of highly qualified healthcare personnel.
“The Foundation for Community Care’s mission is helping to ensure the continuance and quality of local healthcare services. Supporting dedicated students in their studies towards a healthcare degree is a way for the Foundation to give back to the community,” said Foundation for Community Care Executive Director, Staci Miller. “Our scholarship program is funded entirely by donations from the community. That support has allowed us to grant over $43,000 to qualified students since 2001.”
Sidney Health Center also contributes funds to the Foundation for Community Care’s healthcare scholarship program on an annual basis that is designated for employees or family members of employees. “As a healthcare organization, we must continue to support and encourage local people to pursue healthcare careers.” said Rick Haraldson, CEO of Sidney Health Center. “After all, our long-term goal is to provide quality care for generations to come.” Haraldson added.
