Auxiliary to offer $750 Leadership Awards

The Carrington Medical Center Auxiliary is once again offering three Leadership Award scholarships to area college students enrolled in a health care field.

Through these leadership awards, it is the hope of the auxiliary to continue the excellence of professional health care in Carrington and surrounding communities.

Three $750 scholarships will be presented to students who have completed one year of college and been accepted into a medical related field. Students enrolled in a two year program may also apply. They will have to have an acceptance letter from an accredited health occupation program. Award recipients must be from the Carrington Medical Center service area.

Applications may be obtained at the Carrington Medical Center and Clinic, New Rockford Clinic and all other professional medical offices in Carrington and New Rockford.

The deadline to apply for these awards is June 15, 2018 and the recipients will be notified of their acceptance by the end of July.

Winners of the 2017-18 scholarships were: Brenna Skytland enrolled in the Nursing Program at the University of North Dakota; Austin Hewitt attending the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and enrolled in the Family Medicine Physician Program; Jessica Iverson enrolled in the Social Work Program at Minot University; Sabrina Wolfe enrolled in the Doctor of Pharmacy Program at North Dakota State University; and Randall Hagemeister attending the University of North Dakota and enrolled in the Master of Science Nurse Anesthesia Program.

Anyone with questions about these scholarships may call Lori Solberg at 652-2057 or Dorothy Fenske at Carrington Medical Center at 652-7194.
