SPRINGFIELD
-- Leonia Cole, a surgical technologist at Memorial Medical
Center for more than 55 years, was recognized on May 3 for her
contributions to the careers of residents, other surgical
technologists and nurses with the establishment of the Leonia Cole
Surgical Technologist Scholarship Fund.

 The fund, which will be administered by the Memorial Medical Center
Foundation, will award a grant of $2,500 to a qualified candidate
pursuing an associate degree in surgical technology at Lincoln Land
Community College.
Cole began her career at Memorial on Jan. 26, 1954, as a nursing
assistant. After 15 years, she was promoted to surgical technologist
following completion of Memorial's first on-the-job training program
for surgical technology.
"Leonia's dedication and commitment to helping others learn is
exemplary," said Dave Joerger, administrator for Memorial's surgery
department.
To apply for the scholarship, applicants must complete an
