St. Croix Valley Healthcare Foundation awards scholarships

The St. Croix Valley Healthcare Foundation selected 12 area students pursuing a degree in a health care field to receive a $400 scholarship award for 2013. Recipients include are Savanna Stendahl and Madyson Wilke of Chisago City, MN; Megan Volgren of Balsam Lake, WI. Congratulations to these young people of our area on their achievements.

The Foundation has provided scholarship assistance to individuals from area communities who are entering or are furthering their education in a health care field. Each year, a percentage of Foundation funds are earmarked for the Scholarship Awards Program including dollars earned from the Golf Classic and the Fall Gala Dinner. Many past scholarship recipients have put their education and experience to work in our region and several are employed at St. Croix Regional Medical Center.

We welcome any contributions or memorials to the Foundation, in support of health care scholarships or patient care. Scholarship applications are available early spring and due April 1. Please contact Laurie Nelson at 715-483-0587, to obtain an application or send request by email to [email protected]. You may also read about the Foundation online at www.scrmc.org.
