Northwestern Medical Center (NMC) is pleased to share the following announcement about a generous $1 million donation to the hospital to support our scholarship programs.

“This is an incredibly generous gift and one that will have lasting impact,” said Peter J. Wright, FACHE, President and CEO of NMC. “Recruitment and retention has been a focus of NMC for years, and supporting community members as they look to start a career in healthcare is a win-win. It builds a stronger Vermont workforce, and strengthens the hospital.”

NMC will use the donation to strengthen existing scholarship programs and build new ones to attract and retain healthcare workers to combat the national trend of declining interest in the healthcare profession.

The King’s Daughters’ Home was founded in St. Albans in 1925.

The stated mission of our organization has been to provide a home environment for women in need of medical, nutritional, social and spiritual assistance.

After carrying out that mission for 100 years, it is fitting that we at King’s Daughters’ Home have opted to continue our mission into the future by creating a fund which will provide financial aid and support for the employees of Northwestern Medical Center who wish to advance themselves through continuing education. 

We are pleased and proud to know that because of King’s Daughters’ Home, our community will be well served by Northwestern Medical Center through the advancement of nursing and other specialized occupations at the hospital.

It is the hope of King’s Daughters’ Home that our financial contribution will be of valuable assistance in enabling Northwestern Medical Center to continue providing outstanding and compassionate care to the patients it serves.

 

On behalf of our Board,

Donald A. Wells, President
