David Curry, Lindsey Goodwin, Katie Hunsley all of
Lincoln and Hannah Freer of Mount Pulaski were selected as
recipients after a rigorous application process that included three
rounds of interviews with members of the ALMH leadership team and
foundation directors. Each student will receive $20,000 to help fund
their pursuit of a degree. The award includes an agreement to work
at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital (ALMH) in Lincoln following
graduation.
Sarah Helm, executive director of the ALMH Foundation reports that
the foundation has made a commitment to invest in the future
workforce of ALMH through its healthcare career scholarship program.
Since 2013, the foundation board has awarded over $350,000 to
students pursuing degrees in healthcare with intentions to work at
ALMH after graduation. Helm says the opportunity is possible thanks
to the generosity of donors.
“Supporting the studies of students who have made job commitments to
ALMH reflects the mission of both the foundation and the hospital,”
said Eric Graue, chairman of the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital
Foundation. “We are confident that we are doing the right thing for
the students, the hospital, and our community.”
Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital is a community-based critical
access hospital serving the people of Logan and eastern Mason
County. The Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital Foundation was formed
in 1986 to support the mission of ALMH. Contributions to the
scholarship fund are always welcome. To learn more about this and
