HealthEd Connect is celebrating the receipt of an empowering Trust gift while paying tribute to the energetic and far-sighted woman who arranged for this generous gift: Joan Scribner. Joan loved nursing and spent her life working toward the future by enabling the dreams of young people who wanted to pursue a nursing career.
In the 70s she helped establish a Professional Nurses Scholarship Endowment that, since then, has literally changed the lives of dozens of young people. The Endowment, now managed by HealthEd Connect, has provided a total of $48,650 in awards to 24 students in 8 countries including India, Nepal, Zambia, Malawi, Philippines, Honduras, Nicaragua and the U.S.A.
This month, Joan's son Ken Scribner, and his wife, Jeannette, presented a check from Joan's Trust as one of her final wishes. We salute Joan's lasting legacy to make the world healthier by empowering nurses of tomorrow.
