25 individuals receive scholarships

Thanks to the generosity of Central Alberta donors, the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation is providing educational scholarships totalling $86,500 in 2023.

The scholarship recipients are students enrolled in various healthcare programs, including cardiology, respiratory health medicine, hospice palliative care, nursing, and pediatrics. These scholarships help ensure that excellent healthcare professionals are available to provide for the future needs of Central Albertans. Among the criteria used to select successful candidates is the requirement they must live in or have their permanent
residence within 100 kilometers of Red Deer.

“We would not be here today without the community-minded donors who founded these scholarships. Their generosity ensures that we can assist healthcare professionals who are starting or continuing their careers, and that we can attract and retain the top healthcare minds.”

Scholarships were awarded to Marc Jonelle Pacamalan, Hamrin Kaur, Danielle Odenbach, Dallas Jones, Jodi Collier, Nicole Junck, Kaylin Herzog, Deanna Friesen, Devin Woodland, Victoria Johns, Laura Shapka, Wikrom Praekiat, Cole Brown, Haley Mack, Payton Pluister, Sage Bugutsky, Jessica Nelson, Estel Quinteros, Chloe Roberton, Jennifer Huseby, Charmane Columnas, Lisa Gregoire, Taylor Short, Jennifer Froese, and James Choi.
