The Unity Health Foundation recently announced the recipients of the 2019 Foundation Auxiliary Scholarships at the annual Auxiliary Awards Luncheon held on Wednesday, June 5 in the Hubach Conference Center at Unity Health – White County Medical Center. Each recipient received a scholarship of $1000 presented by Cassandra Feltrop, Unity Health Foundation Executive Director.
“We are so honored to work with our Auxiliary each year on the scholarships for students entering healthcare-related fields,” Unity Health Foundation Executive Director, Cassandra Feltrop said. “They are committed to providing the funds for the scholarships and have a committee who evaluates the applications and selects the winners. Our hopes are that the scholarship recipients will return to work at Unity Health upon completion of their degrees.”

The Foundation Auxiliary Scholarships were established as a memorial for a loved one, in memory of or in honor of individuals who made great contributions to medicine in White County.
