Sherry Hunt Smith, pictured in the middle, has been with Scotland Health for well over a decade. She began working in housekeeping and has continued to grow during her time here. In her heart, she always loved taking care of people. When she heard about the Legacy Scholarship, she saw it as her opportunity to become a nurse. Last year, the Foundation was able to seed the Greg Wood Legacy Fund with $150,000 because of your generous donations. We've continued to add to this fund over the last year to aid in growing our workforce pipeline. This scholarship pays for education and a stipend to supplement reduced work hours while in school. Three students will graduate from the program this year and seven others will graduate next year. Sherry emotionally told her story to the Foundation Board recently of how this wasn't only a positive change for her but her whole family and their future. Accompanying Sherry are (l) Rachel Moore, and (r) Christi Meggs, VP of Human Resources.

Back in late spring, during Nurses Week, our wonderful nurses gave $5,000 to the Legacy Fund. Our nurses are generous and caring and truly work to make a real difference in the lives of their teammates and their patients!
