Huntington Hospital’s vision – to be the leader in creating community well-being through world-class health care delivered with kindness and dignity – is brought to life by an outstanding team of nursing professionals, clinical staff and dedicated employees, alongside our physician partners. With the help of philanthropic donations, the hospital supports ongoing education for our workforce. Earlier this month, Huntington Hospital celebrated twenty scholarship recipients who were selected because of the excellence, integrity, compassion, and collaboration demonstrated through the exceptional care they provide patients every day.
“These scholarships were made possible by a generous donation from Julie and Tom Condon, part of a five-year commitment to support nursing education and professional development,” said Jane Haderlein, senior vice president, philanthropy & public relations, Huntington Hospital. “Academic advancement has always been very important at our hospital, and with these scholarships, we can support many more nurses as they strive to advance their clinical knowledge and continually raise the bar in patient care.”
