From the CVPH Foundation

The demand for health care workers has never been greater in the North Country.  To help fulfill this demand, The Foundation is investing in the next generation of health care in northern New York. It has awarded $70,000 in scholarships to graduating high school seniors and hospital employees.

The Foundation is providing $12,000 to 13 2022 high school graduates pursuing careers in health care. More than half are seeking degrees locally, including CVPH School of Radiologic Technology, Clinton Community College and SUNY Plattsburgh. Nursing, radiology, biology for pharmacy and medical school tracks and biomedical technology are among the programs these students will be studying.

It’s important to think about what to do for a career, and for some students, that will hopefully be a life dedicated to providing the best care possible right here in our community. We are thrilled to help these amazing young people down that path. None of this would be possible without your generosity.

A total of 28 hospital workers will also receive $58,000 combined in funding from The Foundation, including 16 Registered Nurses (RN) seeking to continue their education and two Clinical Assistants studying to become Registered Nurses. Radiology, Patient Registration, Emergency Management Services, the Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Unit, and Occupational Health and Wellness are other departments with employees applying for and receiving financial support.

These employees are increasing their knowledge, improving clinical skills and gaining new experience for the betterment of our patients and community.  Thank you for supporting their education goals and desire to grow professionally.  Ultimately, it is the people seeking our care who will benefit.

Education scholarships are available to any CVPH employee seeking financial assistance with pursuit of an undergraduate or graduate degree, taking a course or continuing education that will improve and strengthen their role at the hospital. Scholarships are available for high school seniors in Clinton and Essex Counties. All applications are reviewed by The Foundation Scholarship Task Force and total awards are made based on available funding each year.
