Nurses Make the World Go Round

Sangeeta making rounds in her village

Nurses make the world go round.  Well, okay.  At a minimum they make it healthier!

HealthEd Connect is incredibly proud to nurture new nurses and assist them with scholarships as they pursue professional degrees.  The beneficiary of an endowment fund established by graduates of the Independence Sanitarium and Hospital School of Nursing over 50 years ago, HealthEd Connect is using those funds to provide scholarships for nurses pursuing professional education.  Now we need your help to keep it going Donate Now

Last year Sangeeta from Nepal was the proud recipient of a first year scholarship.  In addition to caring for her family, Sangeeta rides the bus every day to a full-time job as a basic nurse and comes home in the evening to provide volunteer care in her rural under-served village (see picture above). She's now ready to begin her second year of school and, along with a 2015 recipient from India and one from the USA, has applied for a continuing scholarship.  Unfortunately, the endowment investment did not yield sufficient returns last year to support all three.

If you've ever been the recipient of a nurse's care and compassion, now's your chance to say thanks!  Pay it forward by helping the nurses of tomorrow.  Just click here to make a donation   Donate Now   and choose Nursing Scholarship in the drop-down menu.   Please help us prepare nurses to provide health care where it's needed the most.
