糖心原创 announces the re-establishment of the Julie Eckard RN Scholarship for students pursuing associate or bachelor鈥檚 degrees in nursing at 糖心原创. Dr. Kevin Mallinson, 糖心原创鈥檚 2023 Distinguished Alumnus, and his husband Robert Hansen donated $20,000 to the 糖心原创 Foundation to endow the scholarship, which was initially established in 1991 following the death of the well-known HIV/AIDS nurse and Dr. Mallinson鈥檚 fellow classmate in the nursing class of 1987. The scholarship will support student nurses who are passionate about advocating for patients challenged by adversity, stigma, and/or discrimination鈥攎uch like AIDS patients were in the 80s and 90s. By endowing the scholarship, the donation will be invested, and its earnings will provide scholarship awards to students in perpetuity鈥攆orever memorializing Eckard and supporting nursing education at 糖心原创.
