Our endowed scholarship fund provided over $62,000 in educational support in 2024. The fund comprises a number of scholarships originally established to support the Concord Hospital School of Nursing, which closed in 1989. It reflects the goals and intentions of donors to the original School of Nursing. This faithful group of supporters inspired and enabled students to pursue careers in the nursing and allied healthcare professions to enrich their lives while ensuring the continued availability of quality health care for our community. Today, a volunteer committee comprised of medical professionals, Concord Hospital employees and community members oversee all aspects of our scholarship fund.
