The º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø Foundation is pleased to announce that Intermountain Healthcare recently donated $30,000 to the º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø Foundation in support of student scholarships to promote diversity in the healthcare workforce.
“At Intermountain Healthcare, we are pleased to partner with our friends at º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø to create opportunities for people in our community to pursue a meaningful career in healthcare. We hope many in the community will take advantage of these funds that have been made available,” says Benjamin Smalley, CEO/Administrator of Cassia Regional Hospital, a member of the Intermountain Healthcare system.
Dr. L. Dean Fisher, President of the º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø, shared his support noting that “there is a clear and ongoing need for healthcare workers throughout the Magic Valley, and this support from Intermountain Healthcare will be integral to helping the College meet that need.” Intermountain Healthcare states that their mission of “helping people live the healthiest lives possible” is best achieved through collaboration with key community partners like º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø and believes that this donation will ultimately improve access to healthcare services.
The scholarships funded by the donation will be awarded by the º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø Financial Aid Office in partnership with the º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø Foundation. While students from the Mini-Cassia area who are pursuing educational opportunities in nursing will be prioritized in the award process, all healthcare students may apply through the º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø General Scholarship Application to be considered for the funds.
